Started guide included with your notebook.
Most software at the HP Web site is packaged in compressed

Most download packages contain a file named Readme.txt. A
Readme.txt file contains detailed descriptive, installation, and
troubleshooting information about the download. The Readme.txt
files included with ROMPaqs are in English only.
The following sections provide instructions for downloading and
installing
