Using HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI

software components.
NOTE: For some products, you must use a Windows computer and a USB ash drive to download and create
the HP UEFI support environment because only .exe les are provided. For more information, see
Downloading HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI to a USB ash drive on page 71.
