Updated versions of the software provided with your computer are available either through the HP
Software Update utility or on the HP Web site.
The Software Update utility automatically checks for software updates from HP. The utility runs every
30 days and provides a list of support alerts, such as security enhancements, and optional software
and driver updates.

Drivers, and BIOS updates, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
