Working closely with Microsoft we designed all our 2015 products to be ready for Windows 10, said Mike Nash, vice president, portfolio strategy and customer experience, Personal Systems, HP.

While HP will update the 2015 products to Windows 10 after it ships, HP PCs currently shipping with Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 are expected to upgrade to Windows 10. To make this an excellent experience, HP is working with both hardware component suppliers and Microsoft to have full coverage for drivers for Windows 10.
HPs collaboration and feedback during the Windows 10 planning process has been extremely valuable, said Peter Han, VP Worldwide OEM Marketing, Microsoft. We look forward to HP launching their new devices that will light up Windows 10 capabilities and provide new experiences to our joint customers around the world.
