The HP 250 G8 is a thin and light laptop, praised for its quality build and autonomy. It is suitable for everyday tasks and educational purposes, especially in a multi-user environment. However, users have noted that it can be quite noisy and expensive for its features. The laptop is ready for Windows 11 installation, but the installation process can be challenging due to the need for specific drivers and the presence of hidden system partitions. Despite these challenges, the device is considered a good value for money for those who are tech-savvy and can navigate the installation complexities.
Purpose of purchasing the laptop: educating children in middle and high school (browser, office suite, etc.) in a multi-user mode (each child logs into the system with their own account). This device fully meets that need. Gaming is not intended.
Cannot see the flash drive.
At the time of writing this message, I have not found a comprehensive explanation for this issue, so I decided to describe a few points to consider in order to save time when installing Windows.
Starting point: a bootable USB 3.1 flash drive prepared using the official, albeit somewhat outdated, Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool and the official Windows 10 Enterprise ISO file. It turned out that this option is not suitable for this laptop (due to the presence of UEFI). Possibly because this case uses NTFS file system formatting (I won't state it categorically).
To prepare the "correct" bootable flash drive, there's no need to reinvent the wheel, but use the standard Microsoft MediaCreationTool, which will write a kosher Windows 10 Pro onto it. This is the correct no-hassle path - I recommend it.
More to come (hopefully)...
