ACTIVATED with
licensed key: O.S. has been installed onto the hard drive using an HP ProBook 6570b laptop, then activated with a licensed key. It has also been tested on an HP EliteBook 8570p, 8470p, HP ProBook 6460b. If you are using this in another HP Probook, with similar specs,
it may already be activated for you. If not, just use the activation
key on the bottom of your laptop (Windows 7 or Windows 10 Professional
activation key), or purchase one. In my experience (I have installed Windows O.S. over
200 times on various laptops and computers), the O.S. should already be
activated for you if you are using the same model computer, but
sometimes you will need to activate. You may also find it to be activated on other EliteBooks and ProBooks. I have tested this hard drive on other HP EliteBook and ProBook laptops and found it to be working the same. Usually it is also already activated. You actually DO NOT have to activate it though in order to
use Windows 10, you can still use it without activation, you just won't
get anymore Microsoft updates.
ADDED BONUS: Other software programs preinstalled include:
1. Microsoft Office 2007
2. Adobe Photo Shop 5.0
Due to variations within
the same, and different, laptop models, if a different driver is needed
for a particular hardware device, all drivers can be downloaded from HP
website for free.
