Best practices
After you set up and register the computer, HP recommends the following steps to get the most out of
your smart investment.
● Back up your hard drive by creating recovery media. See Backing up, restoring, and recovering on
page 48.
● If you haven’t already done so, connect to a wired or wireless network. See details in Connecting to a
network on page 11.
● Become familiar with the computer hardware and software. For more information, see Getting to
know your computer on page 6 and Enjoying entertainment features on page 16.
● Access HP Support Assistant app—For quick online support, open the HP Support Assistant
app (select products only). HP Support Assistant optimizes computer performance and resolves
problems using the latest software updates, diagnostic tools, and guided assistance. Select the
Search icon in the taskbar, type support in the search box, and then select HP Support Assistant.
