MY HP ALL-IN-ONE 22-DD2001NH DOES NOT BOOT TO SETUP MENU. IT STOPS AT C/>, DO I NEED TO TYPE IN SOMETHING FOR IT TO CONTINUE?

This means that PC came with FreeDOS, not Windows. And that is a command-line system, not graphics like Windows.

 

There is no embedded HP product key in the firmware, so you would have to BUY Windows to install it.

 

If you just bought this, then return it -- especially if you expected to have Windows on it.
