Your computer's BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) software is essential to keeping all your systems running smoothly.
Updating it can help resolve bugs and fix hardware issues. But before you make any updates to your BIOS, it's important to know exactly when and how to update it. Making an unnecessary change could harm your computer instead of help if not done properly.
What is BIOS software?
Your PC’s BIOS software is one of the most important elements that control the operation of your computer. BIOS is the system that prompts your computer's operating system to start up when you turn on your computer.
The BIOS is generally embedded in a chip on your computer’s motherboard. You can think of BIOS as your computer’s first responder, activating the operating system that allows you to connect with different applications and functions.
This is an essential part of your PC’s functionality, and keeping it updated can help improve your system’s responsiveness and resolve existing software bugs. -

Read more »Only some people know where to find the reference information for their HP laptop, such as its model number. This information is essential when checking laptop warranty, getting troubleshooting help, and contacting HP Customer Support.
While HP laptop model numbers can commonly be found on the side, back, or top of the laptop's case, you may need to remove the laptop battery to find this information.What do model, product, and serial numbers mean?
The model number represents the components and features that define your product. There could be 10,000 HP products with the same model number.
The product number identifies your HP product within a series. 1,000 HP products could share a product number.
Serial numbers are unique to an individual product.
Finding your product information

Deciding whether to upgrade your laptop or buy a new one is a big decision. For most of us, a laptop is an essential tool - for work and play - so speed and memory are a huge deal.
While conventional wisdom may fall into the “buy a new one” camp, replacing some parts or making a few changes can save the DIY-er a lot of money or give you a few extra months while you wait for the best time to buy a new laptop.
Whether you’re hoping for better graphics, more RAM, or faster processing power, here's what you need to know before you start upgrading your laptop:
- Upgrading can void your warranty
- This process isn’t for the impatient
- Not all components can be changed out
- Some upgrades could damage your laptop
Can you upgrade a laptop processor?
Let’s start with the big question. And while we hate to be the bearer of bad news, in most cases, you can’t upgrade your laptop processor. There are some laptops with interchangeable processors, but these machines are expensive and difficult to find.

Read more »A printer is an easy technology to shop for. You don’t need to be fluent in techno-babble to understand printer specifications, and there are generally fewer specs to consider than when shopping for computers. But there’s one key technology difference that you need to know.
When you’re buying a new printer for home use or office use, you’ll have to choose between an inkjet printer and a laser printer. This is the first and most important decision you’ll make when choosing a printer.
What’s the difference between an inkjet printer and a laser printer? And which printer is best for you? Let’s compare the two.
What’s the difference between an inkjet printer and a laser printer?
An inkjet printer uses ink to print documents, while a laser printer uses a laser to print documents. Pretty simple.
The different printing processes affect each printer’s speed, functions, and image quality. Let’s go into a bit more detail.
HOW DOES AN INKJET PRINTER WORK?
An inkjet printer uses ink cartridges. -

Below, we explain the Intel processor brands, generations, and models in plain, easy-to-understand English. We’ll also look at naming conventions, so when you see Intel Core™ i3-8145U or Intel Core i7-10510Y, you’ll know exactly what each part of the name means.
We also demystify the Intel CPU generations and “Lake” monikers, and the latest Intel processors – 11th Generation – and how they support the new Evo platform (and why that’s exciting). Finally, we’ll clarify Intel’s Core, Xeon®, Pentium®, and Celeron® processors, with the generations, brand modifiers, and suffixes of each.
For a comprehensive list of all Intel processor model numbers, see the Intel product specs site.
What are Intel processors?
Intel processors are the most popular CPUs for desktops and laptops in the world. They’re offered -

The first digital computers were huge, clunky machines. A single model was large enough to fill nearly half a room. In those days, it must have been hard to imagine compressing such a machine to a size small enough to fit in your lap.
So let’s take a moment and show some appreciation for the modern laptop - that you can bring it to and from the office, that you can carry it to the coffee shop, that you can take it with you on your travels.
Nowadays, many laptops are just as powerful as their desktop counterparts. They have muscle processors, stunning displays, and large storage capacities. Laptop specs have gotten so advanced that it’s too easy to forget about the principal allure of a laptop computer - portability.
If you own a laptop, you’ll probably take it out into the big wide world at some point. And if you’re going to take it out into the big wide world, it should be tough enough to withstand all that the world has to offer, namely, harsh weather and hard knocks.

Read more »The colours on your website don’t quite match your business cards. Your latest flyers are clashing with your trade booth banners. And your promotional video is looking decidedly washed out on your client’s monitor.
What happened?
First impressions are 94% design-related [1], so a little colour knowledge can make a big difference to your bottom line. Take our crash course on what every business needs to know about colour, from your printer to your monitor, and how you can make sure every brochure and browser shows your business at its best.
RGB, CMYK, ETC?
If you've ever replaced a colour toner cartridge or adjusted your display properties, you've probably noticed different abbreviations for how to describe colours. RGB and CMYK are the most frequently cited, but there are dozens of others. It can feel pretty technical. After all, red is red, right? So why do we need different ways of describing them? And why do those colours look different on our monitors, printers, and smartphones?

Think about it. You'd probably have to hire a scribe if you couldn’t print documents right off your computer. If you didn’t have the money to hire a scribe, you’d probably suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome. Yes, we repeat, home printing is absolutely the greatest thing since sliced bread.
From bringing your most cherished memories to life to printing important documents, the home printer has become a staple in every home (and commercial) office space.
But with essential new technology, a more refined version of printing was born. Now, remote printing is the greatest thing since home printing. Introducing the best remote printing service: HP ePrint. When you can access high-quality printing from anywhere, the possibilities are truly unlimited.

Read more »Almost every computer experiences performance issues at some point. Luckily, there are simple ways that you can resolve them without needing to contact tech support. One of these ways is performing a factory reset on your computer so you can remove any malware, increase its speed, or get it ready for a new user.
First, you must identify your operating system and the steps required to reset your laptop. An OS besides Windows may require different steps to accomplish a full factory reset, and it’s imperative to know which you are using before you begin the process.
Windows 10 has made performing a factory reset a bit different from the previous versions of the Microsoft OS. It is much easier to do and provides a simpler process for those who may be implementing a reset for the first time. For other versions of Windows, it can be slightly more complicated and require system backups.
Here is a guide to help you easily perform a reset so you can restore your HP laptop. -
