Product: HP ProBook 450 G4
Operating System: FreeDOS

Hello!

 

I see that HP 450 G4's are supposed to have a backlit keyboard.. maybe I don't know how to turn mine on but it doesn't have that "keyboard sign" on any key.

 

How to turn it on or does it even have the backlit keyboard as stated in the product specs?

If your notebook has a backlit keyboard function, there will be a hotkey with a symbol as I pointed to in the image below.

 

Actually, it is unlikely that a FreeDos model will have that function. It is quite a barebones edition.

So.. no possibility? even if a Windows 10 is downloaded?

 

It is weird that the place I purchased it from stated that it has a backlit keyboard.

If you don't see a hotkey symbol like in the image there is no backlit keyboard.

 

It makes no difference which OS is loaded.

 

The symbol lets one know that a keyboard with the extra connector for backlighting is present.

Alright.. last thing.. you mentioned that it's a barebones edition..

 

Is it going to miss any other specs than the ones mentioned on the product specs?

It has all those specs, thankfully. I hope it works well for gaming too.

 

I think it's just the backlit keyboard what it's missing.. is the keyboard still the Premium HP keyboard or.. not?
