    Do I need to go out to the HP site and download all the drivers there for the zt3000 or should the ones that came loaded on the system be OK? I am just wondering since I just received it earlier this month all drivers should be updated on the system already right?

    Thank you in advance.

    Actually, even though you got your system yesterday, the drivers may still need updating. The OS loaded on your system is loaded from an image file. This image file could have been made months ago (updated periodically) so you never know. You can usually findout the version of your driver by going to Device Manager and take a look at the driver version for each device you want to upgrade.

    1. Right Click My Computer & select Properties at the bottom
    2. Click on Hardware Tab
    3. Click on Device Manager button
    4. Click on + beside whichever device you want to update
    5. Double Click on the device the drops down
    6. Click on Driver Tab & your version will be listed

    If it is lower than the one on the HP site, then upgrade, if not, you don't need it.
