2.2 Requirements & Prerequisites
The following items are needed to install Windows 10:
A supported HP business notebook PC model with DPK injected, Retail Key or KMS server with Volume License (VL)
Windows OS recovery media provided by HP; if you are using media from an alternate source, consider the following:
– A product ID (PID)
NOTE: The HP OS Media only contains the default key, so if DPK is not injected in the BIOS then that key will be
required
– Booting to Window Preinstallation Environment (WinPE) for hard-drive formatting or other activities requires
WinPE 4.0
Access to Drivers/OS enhancements provided by HP
– HP SoftPaq Download Manager (www.hp.com/go/sdm)
– High speed Internet access (www.hp.com)
IMPORTANT
Make sure you have the latest compatible versions of drivers and enhancements
(Tables 1-8). In addition, you must have a Microsoft operating system license for
each system on which you install Windows 10 Pro. The Windows 10 Pro license
allows you to use Windows 7 Professional, Windows 8.1 Pro, or Windows 10 Pro.

3 Installing the OS, Drivers, and
Enhancements
This section provides guidelines for users performing a clean installation of Windows 10 on a supported HP business
notebook PC.
For more information on installing Windows 10, refer to the Microsoft website at http://windows.microsoft.com/help.
3.1 Installation Steps
IMPORTANT
Follow the installation instructions in the order provided. Failure to complete
these steps in the proper order can result in an unsuccessful or unstable
installation. These instructions are independent of the operating system
currently installed on the notebook PC.
1. Connect to AC power.
2. Depending on the particular Internet connection(s) being used, download the driver(s) for the network interface card
and/or wireless LAN adapter driver. Save to a USB storage device or optical media.
– Contact your network administrator to properly set up the networking components of Windows 10.
3. Verify BIOS version per Appendix B. Update if necessary.
4. Verify the following in F10 Setup
– System Configuration>Boot Options>CD-ROM boot enabled
Typically provided on the product’s Certificate of Authenticity
4
– System Configuration>Boot Options>Boot Mode set to UEFI Native (without CSM)
– Secure Boot should be set to On
5. Boot with the Windows OS recovery disk provided by HP; follow the on-screen instructions for installation.
– OS recovery media from HP does not require a product ID or key for installation on a supported HP business
notebook PC.
6. It is best to have an Internet connection during the installation. This will allow connection to Windows Update (WU)
to download the latest drivers.
7. Install HP Updates
Install the drivers and enhancements listed in Tables 1-8 as needed per platform using HP SoftPaq Download
Manager (available from www.hp.com/go/sdm); alternatively, you can download individual SoftPaqs from the

Appendix D: Installing .NET
Framework 3.5 on Windows 10
Although .NET Framework 4.6 is included with Windows 10 and installed on your computer with the operating system,
.NET Framework 3.5 is not automatically installed with Windows 10. Thus, to run applications that require .NET
Framework 3.5 on a Windows 10 system, you must first enable this version using one of the following methods
Installing .NET Framework 3.5 on demand (that is, when an application that requires .NET Framework 3.5 finds that
this version is not available).
Using the Control Panel to enable .NET Framework 3.5.
These two options are outlined below; for more information, refer to http://msdn.microsoft.com/enus/library/hh506443.aspx.
Important notes
Use .NET Framework 3.5 for applications built for versions 3.5, 3.0, and 2.0.
Installing a Windows language pack on Windows 10 before installing .NET Framework 3.5 causes the .NET Framework
3.5 installation to fail. Thus, you should install .NET Framework 3.5 before installing any Windows language packs.
Windows CardSpace is not available with .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 10.
Installing .NET Framework 3.5 on demand
If an application requires .NET Framework 3.5 but does not find this version enabled on your system, the message
shown in Figure F-1 is displayed, either when you install the application or when you run it for the first time.
Figure F-1. Message box that allows you to install .NET Framework 3.5 on demand
If you have an Internet connection, you can select Install this feature to enable .NET Framework 3.5.
