HP Recommended

The is because a new system board does not have the serial number, product name, product configuration, product number product family and system board CT number which are all normally programmed in the BIOS at the manufacturer.

 

It takes the use of a proprietary BIOS DMI utility on flashdrive to resolve this. 

An HP Service Center or an HP authorized repair shop will have the required BIOS DMI utility.

 

Also be aware that you need to purchase a Windows 11 operating system license in order to activate the OS.
