4540s
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Translated with Google
Was the wrong bios installed for a 4540s?

I want to install Windows 10 on a 4540s for Ukrainian refugees and notice that the notebook is masquerading as a 4740s

This means that the model and serial numbers are no longer correct
and I had trouble installing the correct drivers.

Hwinfo shows the motherboard as 17f6

HP Notebook System BIOS F.68 Rev.A 9.0 MB May 14, 2019

According to the sticker on the back, Win8 was installed
With Cloud Recovery I only get Win7

Notebook works but touchpad and mouse does not work
Drivers installed, no errors Device ready
Touchpad cannot be switched on LED does not light up
