Quick Setup & Getting Started
Installing and Customizing the Software
NOTE: If the computer was shipped with Windows Vista loaded, you will
be prompted to register the computer with HP Total Care before installing
the operating system. You will see a brief movie followed by an online
registration form. Fill out the form, click the Begin button, and follow the
instructions on the screen.
CAUTION: Do not add optional hardware or third-party devices to the
computer until the operating system is successfully installed. Doing so may
cause errors and prevent the operating system from installing properly.
NOTE: Be sure there is a 10.2-cm (4-inch) clearance at the back of the
unit and above the monitor to permit the required airflow.
Installing the Operating System
The first time you turn on the computer, the operating system is installed
automatically. This process takes about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on
which operating system is being installed. Carefully read and follow the
instructions on the screen to complete the installation.
CAUTION: Once the automatic installation has begun, DO NOT TURN
OFF THE COMPUTER UNTIL THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE. Turning
off the computer during the installation process may damage the software
that runs the computer or prevent its proper installation.
NOTE: If the computer shipped with more than one operating system
language on the hard drive, the installation process could take up to
60 minutes.
If your computer was not shipped with a Microsoft operating system, some
portions of this documentation do not apply. Additional information is
available in online help after you install the operating system.
