Hello, I bought this new laptop, and I would like your assistance if I should charge the laptop before I turn it on for the first time. And if yes, can you please tell me for how many hours?

Hi:

 

Please refer to this HP guide:

 

How Long Should I Charge my HP Laptop Battery? | HP® Tech Takes

 

How long should I charge my HP laptop for the first time?

Your first charge is always your most important charge. When you buy a new laptop, you’ll want to charge your battery for 24 hours to make sure that it gets a full charge on its first go. Giving your battery a complete charge during its first charge will prolong its life.
