If you’re wondering whether your PC is working and has an operating system installed, the first step is to turn it on and see if it loads normally. If the computer boots up and displays the desktop, then it already has an OS running, likely Windows.
For the 8300 Elite series from HP, these computers originally came with either Windows 7 or Windows 8. If the PC wasn’t upgraded to Windows 10 before being sold on Amazon, you’ll need to purchase and install Windows 10 yourself. However, keep in mind that Windows 10 will reach the end of support in just a little over two months, so upgrading now might be a good idea for security reasons.
You can create bootable Windows 10 installation media using Microsoft’s Media Creation Tool. This tool allows you to download the necessary files and make a USB drive or DVD that you can use to install Windows 10 on your PC. But be aware that the OS might not activate after installation unless your device had a valid Windows 10 upgrade in the past, as the free upgrade offer ended over ten years ago.
If you want to get Windows 10, you can download it directly from Microsoft’s official website: Download Windows 10. Just follow their instructions to create your installer and proceed with the installation process.
