Create a Bootable USB with HP DMI Tools
- Format a USB drive to FAT32.
- Copy the DMI tools to the USB.
Boot into DOS Mode
- Power off your laptop and insert the bootable USB.
- Turn on the laptop and press F9 to enter the Boot Menu.
- Select the USB drive.
Run the DMI Tools
- Use the command: HPBQ138.EXE
- Enter the missing information:
- Product Name: HP Notebook - 15-af100nc
- Product Number: P0G47EA
- Serial Number: (Check the bottom of your laptop)
- UUID, Feature Byte, CT Number (If available on the laptop label)
