    Hi everyone, my just bought my 1st notebook and I have a question.

    I got the HP HDX16 and I want to change the OS to Vista Ultimate 64 or Windows 7 64bit RC.

    Thing is, I didnt find the programs that came with the notebook at the HP website. For example, Microsoft Works, Cyberlink DVD Suite, HP recovery manager etc.

    Is there any way to install them after the format? Or do I have to get stuck with Home Premium?

    Thanks in advance!

    there should be a folder on your drive called SwSetup (C:\SwSetup), in which you will find installers for all of the programs that came on your computer

    just copy these to some external medium and reinstall them after you reinstall the OS of your choice
