You choose this option, and the computer will do everything itself (during the installation process, it will most likely reboot several times, this is normal). If there were no errors during the express installation process, then everything was successful.
Option two: follow the link http://www.hp.ru/support/drivers/ to the section of the official HP website and indicate the model of your laptop (if the express installation of drivers from the disk is unsuccessful, you will also have to use this option). The site will ask you to check for updates or indicate the version operating system. Since you have nothing to check for updates yet, select your OS and click “Next”.
