HP Orbit

[Maurice1984]

This is my second HP Spectre laptop and my previous one had HP Orbit installed. Does anyone know how I can download it onto my new Spectre. All HP seem to tell me is how to download it onto my phone. Thanks in advance.

Hi:

You can download HP Orbit for Windows at the link below...

This package provides HP Orbit, which allows users to seamlessly transfer text, photos, and files between PCs and mobile devices. This package is provided for supported models running a supported operating system.

Thanks for the help Paul I have downloaded the driver package but unfortunately it is now asking me to download HP Support Assistance which I have done> but alas this also does not fix the problem as it now seems that HP Orbit is not supported in Windows 10 or am I wrong 

Thanks

You're very welcome, Maurice.

Unfortunately, that I would not know.

HP Orbit requires the HP support solutions framework software like the HP support assistant does.

If you have both the HP support assistant and support solutions software installed, then I would have to assume the software is no longer supported on the newer model HP PC's.

The link I posted was the latest version available.

Upon researching this further, it appears to me that there is an HP Quickdrop app which seems very similar to the HP Orbit app.

Maybe that is the one you need now...

You can download the above HP Quickdrop app from the Microsoft Store.

Paul THANK YOU< THANK YOU<THANK YOU

It does seem like the HP QuickDrop is the new version of HP Orbit. I have already downloaded it from the microsoft store and already used it and it works perfectly.

Thanks again
