C Using HP ThinUpdate to restore the image
HP ThinUpdate allows you to download images and add-ons from HP, capture an HP thin client image, and
create bootable USB ash drives for image deployment.
HP ThinUpdate is preinstalled on some HP thin clients, and it is also available as an add-on at
http://www.hp.com/support (search for the thin client model and see the Drivers & software section of the
support page for that model).
●
The Image Downloads feature lets you download an image from HP to either local storage or a USB ash
drive. The USB ash drive option creates a bootable USB ash drive that can be used to deploy the image
to other thin clients.
●
The Image Capture feature lets you capture an image from an HP thin client and save it to a USB ash
drive, which can be used to deploy the image to other thin clients.
●
The Add-on Downloads feature lets you download add-ons from HP to either local storage or a USB ash
drive.
