Activating the Windows operating system

The rst time you turn on the computer, the operating system is set up and activated automatically. This

process takes about 5 to 10 minutes. Carefully read and follow the instructions on the screen to complete the

important software updates and sign up for special oers. You can also register your computer with HP using

the Register with HP app on the Start screen.

COMPLETE. Turning o the computer during the activation process may damage the software that runs the

computer or prevent its proper installation.

Downloading Windows updates

Microsoft may release updates to the operating system. To help keep the computer running optimally, HP

recommends checking for the latest updates during the initial installation and periodically throughout the life

of the computer.

Run Windows Update as soon as possible after you set up your computer.

1. From the taskbar, type Windows Update, and then from the Search window, select Check for

updates

2. Click Update & recovery, and then click Check for updates.

3. Run Windows Update monthly thereafter.
