    Has anyone figured out how to change the default OS name displayed in the system bios of the HDX16 notebooks? Mine came with Windows Vista installed, but I was wondering if this could be changed to display Windows 7 when I receive my upgrade.

    Thanks,

    Jerry

    Nope, upgrading to Win7 would not change the shipped OS in BIOS.
    It only can be changed by HP DMI tool.
