Hi, 

 

Your PC originally came with the 45 W adapter 741727-001

 

You can use a 65W adapter without any problem as long as the voltage and amperage is the same or very close. You can use the 740015-003 adapter which has the same specs. You can use one of the more "universal adapters" sold in HP store and you can use most universal adapters which you can find online. The Wattage is not important as long as it  is not lower.

 

Hope it helps,

David

I expect that you probably mean the power adapter. 

 

They are not "one size fits all".

 

Only use the original adapter or another that has identical electrical specifications. Look at the tag on the original power adapter. It has all of the electrical specs, including polarity, type and dimensions of the connector. 

 

HP Smart AC adapter:
65-W non-PFC EM HP Smart AC adapter (for use in the People’s Republic of China and India only)
714657-001
 
65-W, non-PFC, 4.5 mm (for use inall countries and regions except for the People’s Republic of China
and India)
710412-001
 
45-W non-PFC, non-slim HP SmartAC adapter (for use in all countries and regions except for the
