Maintaining Your Software
and Personal Data
HP recommends that you install all software updates as they become available. However, if your system is connected to a network, you may need to confer with your Information Services department before updating system ROM.
Installing a Retail Version of an Operating System
The Windows operating system included in the QuickRestore System Recovery CD is enhanced by HP. The enhancements
provide added functionality for power management, security, and the use of drives and PC Cards.
CAUTION: Replacing an HP enhanced operating system with a retail
Ä
version will result in the loss of enhancements added by HP. In some cases, it may result in system lockups and loss of unsaved information. In other cases, complete USB support will become unavailable.
