Is there a way to get diskpart working from cmd through boot menu? I was able to get to a cmd line last night, but now I forget the shortcut and can't find the reference I found it on.

 

Is there a way to update the drivers and OS with the .exe files through cmd? The only drivers I found are all .exe files.

"It doesn't matter whether the installation media is for Windows 11 or Windows 10: either one works the same. Boot your PC using some Windows installation media (USB, DVD, etc.) Then, to open CMD in Windows Setup, simultaneously press the Shift + F10 keys on your keyboard when the installation wizard shows up."

There is nothing wrong with using the exe files found at the HP Support portal for your laptop. That is actually the norm, depending on just how you are installing Windows 10 or 11.

 

If you are creating your own media from a Windows 10 image, the drivers can be installed pre-installation .
