If you plan to run a version of Microsoft Windows that is different from the version included with your computer, you must install corresponding device drivers and utilities to ensure that all features are supported and functioning properly.
HP has made the task of locating, accessing, evaluating, and installing the latest support software easier. You can download the software from http://www.hp.com/support.
