3 Connecting to a network
Your computer can travel with you wherever you go. But even at home, you can
explore the globe and access information from millions of websites by using
your computer and a wired or wireless network connection. This chapter helps
you get connected to that world.
Connecting to a wireless network
Your computer might be equipped with one or more wireless devices. WLAN
device–Connects the computer to wireless local area networks (commonly
referred to as Wi-Fi
networks, wireless LANs, or WLANs) in corporate offices, your home, and public
places such as airports, restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, and universities.
The WLAN device in your computer communicates with a wireless router or a
wireless access point. HP Mobile Broadband Module–Gives you wireless
connectivity over a wireless wide area network (WWAN), a much larger area.
Mobile network operators install base stations (similar to cell phone towers)
throughout large geographic areas, effectively providing coverage across
entire states, regions, or even countries. Bluetooth® device–Creates a
personal area network (PAN) to connect to other Bluetooth-enabled devices such
as computers, phones, printers, headsets, speakers, and cameras. In a PAN,
each device communicates directly with other devices, and devices must be
relatively close together–typically within 10 m (approximately 33 ft) of each
other.

11 Backing up, restoring, and recovering
You can use Windows tools or HP software to back up your information, create a
restore point, reset your computer, create recovery media, or restore your
computer to its factory state. Performing these standard procedures can return
your computer to a working state faster. IMPORTANT: If you will be performing
recovery procedures on a tablet, the tablet battery must be at least 70%
charged before you start the recovery process. IMPORTANT: For a tablet with a
detachable keyboard, connect the tablet to the keyboard base before beginning
any recovery process.
Backing up information and creating recovery media
These methods of creating recovery media and backups are available on select
products only.
Using Windows tools for backing up
HP recommends that you back up your information immediately after initial
setup. You can do this task either using Windows Backup locally with an
external USB drive or using online tools. IMPORTANT: Windows is the only
option that allows you to back up your personal information. Schedule regular
backups to avoid information loss. NOTE: If computer storage is 32 GB or less,
Microsoft® System Restore is disabled by default.
Using the HP Cloud Recovery Download Tool to create recovery media (select
products only)
You can use the HP Cloud Recovery Download Tool to create HP Recovery media on
a bootable USB flash drive. For details: Go to http://www.hp.com, search for
HP Cloud Recovery, and then select the result that matches the
type of computer that you have. NOTE: If you cannot create recovery media
yourself, contact support to obtain recovery discs. Go to
http://www.hp.com/support, select your country or region, and then follow the
on-screen instructions. IMPORTANT: HP recommends that you follow the Restoring
and recovery methods on page 54 to restore your computer before you obtain and
use the HP recovery discs. Using a recent backup can return your machine to a
working state sooner than using the HP recovery discs. After the system is
restored, reinstalling all the operating system software released since your
initial purchase can be a lengthy process.
Restoring and recovering your system
You have several tools available to recover your system both within and
outside of Windows if the desktop cannot load.
Backing up, restoring, and recovering 53

recovery methods on page 54.
Creating a system restore
System Restore is available in Windows. The System Restore software can
automatically or manually create restore points, or snapshots, of the system
files and settings on the computer at a particular point. When you use System
Restore, it returns your computer to its state at the time you made the
restore point. Your personal files and documents should not be affected.
Restoring and recovery methods
After you run the first method, test to see whether the issue still exists
before you proceed to the next method, which might now be unnecessary. 1. Run
a Microsoft System Restore. 2. Run Reset this PC.
NOTE: The options Remove everything and then Fully clean the drive can take
several hours to complete and leave no information on your computer. It is the
safest way to reset your computer before you recycle it. 3. Recover using HP
Recovery media. For more information, see Recovering using HP Recovery media
on page 54. For more information about the first two methods, see the Get Help
app: Select the Start button, select All apps, select the Get Help app, and
then enter the task you want to perform. NOTE: You must be connected to the
internet to access the Get Help app.
Recovering using HP Recovery media
You can use HP Recovery media to recover the original operating system and
software programs that were installed at the factory. On select products, it
can be created on a bootable USB flash drive using the HP Cloud Recovery
Download Tool. For details, see Using the HP Cloud Recovery Download Tool to
create recovery media (select products only) on page 53. NOTE: If you cannot
create recovery media yourself, contact support to obtain recovery discs. Go
to http://www.hp.com/support, select your country or region, and then follow
the on-screen instructions. To recover your system: Insert the HP Recovery
media, and then restart the computer. NOTE: HP recommends that you follow the
Restoring and recovery methods on page 54 to restore your computer before you
obtain and use the HP recovery discs. Using a recent backup can return your
machine to a working state sooner than using the HP recovery discs. After the
system is restored, reinstalling all the operating system software released
since your initial purchase can be a lengthy process.

12 Electrostatic discharge
Electrostatic discharge is the release of static electricity when two objects
come into contact–for example, the shock you receive when you walk across the
carpet and touch a metal door knob. A discharge of static electricity from
fingers or other electrostatic conductors may damage electronic components.
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the computer, damage to a drive, or loss of
information, observe these precautions: If removal or installation
instructions direct you to unplug the computer, first be sure that it is
properly
grounded. Keep components in their electrostatic-safe containers until you are
ready to install them. Avoid touching pins, leads, and circuitry. Handle
electronic components as little as possible. Use nonmagnetic tools. Before
handling components, discharge static electricity by touching an unpainted
metal surface. If you remove a component, place it in an electrostatic-safe
container.
