Hi @Slim40,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

No worries, this is fixable! If you accidentally removed your keyboard and mouse from your HP All-in-One PC (Intel Core i7), it likely means they were unpaired or disconnected. Here’s how to get them working again:

Step 1: Identify Connection Type

• Wireless (Bluetooth or USB dongle): 
  • Check if your keyboard and mouse use a USB receiver. If yes, plug it back into the PC.
• Bluetooth: 
  • You’ll need to re-pair them in Windows settings.

Step 2: Reconnect via Bluetooth

1. On your PC, go to: 
   • Settings → Bluetooth & Devices → Add Device → Bluetooth.
2. Put your keyboard and mouse in pairing mode: 
   • Usually, by pressing and holding the Bluetooth button or power button until the LED blinks.
3. Select them from the list and pair.

Step 3: If They Use HP Link-5 USB Receiver

• Plug the receiver back in.
• Download HP Link-5 software to re-pair devices: 👉 HP Wireless (Link-5) Keyboard Software and Driver Downloads | HP® Support

Step 4: Update Drivers

• Go to Official HP® Support.
• Enter your PC model and update keyboard/mouse drivers.

Step 5: If Nothing Works

• Use a wired USB keyboard and mouse temporarily.
• Perform a hard reset:  
  • Power off → Unplug → Hold power button for 15 sec → Restart.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
