chipsets firmware is based on windows 11. if you decide not use windows update to install the drivers which would be a good idea since the latest windows 11 updates cripple memory bandwidth performance. in any case if you decide to that all the driver updates are based on windows 11. so you essentially have to install the generic intel chipset firmware. there are problems with using it. at 2.2 ghz the computer can't reach its full tdp of 28 watts and throttles. lowering the wattage to 18 watts using a program called throttlestop with intel speedstep and c1e performance improves dramatically for the wattage used. but if you can manage to avoid updates on windows 11 which is nearly impossible because they install when you download windows 11 and even if you manage to avoid updates on install once you connect to the internet. windows 11 will force install updates. windows 11 install fairly quickly though. if you really wanted to you can download the version of windows 11 thats available now and put on a usb flashdrive. pause windows update for 2 weeks. install the drivers using the serial number and product id on hp's website. install the drivers from hp's website. in 2 weeks reinstall windows and repeat.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I'm not sure what you mean by "paved", but yes, you should have no problem having Windows 10 Pro installed. Contact the Geek Squad at your local Best Buy for the cost of purchasing Windows 10 pro and the installation cost.
