HP provides several tools to help set up and protect your computer.
Using Computer Setup
Computer Setup, or Basic Input/Output System (BIOS), controls communication between all the input
and output devices on the system (such as hard drives, display, keyboard, mouse, and printer). Computer
Setup includes settings for types of devices installed, the startup sequence of the computer, and
amount of system and extended memory.

from operating properly.
To start Computer Setup, turn on or restart the computer, and when the HP logo appears, press f10 to
enter Computer Setup.
