I have recently purchased my desktop and although it was sold with card reader installed I cannot find any reference to it on files or in drivers. When I put an SD card into slot, nothing hasppens.
Any ideas please?
kindest regards
Mick.

Welcome to HP forums, I see that the card reader is not getting detected in your computer.
Reinstall each memory card device using Device Manager:
-
Remove all memory cards, and unplug all USB storage devices from the USB ports.
note:
Make sure you remove all USB devices.
-
Move the mouse pointer to the lower left corner of the screen, right-click, and select Device Manager from the menu.
-
Double-click Disk drives to open the category.
-
Right-click a Generic card reader device name, if any are listed, and select Uninstall.
-
Wait until Device Manager updates the list, removing the name of the Generic device.
-
Continue uninstalling Generic card reader device names until they are all removed from the list.
-
Restart the computer:
-
Press the Windows
+ I key.
The Settings charm opens to the right of the screen.
-
Click Power, and select Restart.
-
-
After Windows loads, reinsert the memory card. If problems persist
