Fingerprint not showing in settings. Upgraded to Windows 10 this morning, on windows 8.1 it used my biometric sensor to log me in. HP Elitebook 8540w. I'm not sure that is a helpful reponse. I have tried an upgrade from Win & to WIn 10 with my Elitebook 8540w and find the fingerprint recognition drivers do not work in 10 - and as HP has no Connection Manager for WIn 10 for this Elitebook, Connection Manager and the Ericcson SIM software are both disabled.

With rare exception, mobile workstation laptops are not glamorous. It's a category that puts performance, security, and practicality before portability and stylish design. The HP EliteBook 8540w, though maybe not a full exception, proves that a manufacturer can offer a powerful, secure, rugged workstation that looks good, too.

As a laptop it still suffers from the performance bottlenecks associated with being mobile; a full-size desktop workstation will outperform it. But that doesn't mean it isn't capable of demanding tasks, and thanks to ample configuration options you can tailor it for your needs. This includes a premium LCD for anyone who must have accurate colors. Battery life is predictably brief; however, there are ways of dealing with that, too. In the end, its shortcomings aren't any different from what we see on competing workstations, but the overall package and component offerings are excellent.

If you want high-performance components and durability, but you don't need workstation-caliber graphics and performance or ISV (independent software vendor) certification, you may want to look at HP's EliteBook 8540p instead.

What's nice about the design of the EliteBook 8540w--and its 17-inch linemate the 8740w--is that it doesn't look like a rugged notebook despite being, in fact, very rugged. HP touts that it's built to meet military standards (MIL-STD 810G) for vibration, dust, humidity, altitude, and high temperature, but you wouldn't know it from its stately appearance. HP's DuraCase chassis design is constructed from a magnesium alloy with scratch-resistant anodized aluminum surfaces and metal alloy hinges with hardened steel pin axles. The display enclosure is a magnesium shell bonded to anodized aluminum able to withstand up to 300 pounds of pressure. To protect against bumps and drops, the 3D DriveGuard uses a three-axis digital accelerometer that parks the hard drive to minimize damage to your data. It's definitely made to take the abuse of travel, though our review system's travel weight was 9 pounds, 2 pounds of which is the power brick.

The DuraKey keyboard is extremely comfortable to use, with good response and no flex while typing. It also has a full number pad. The keys are clear-coated to reduce wear and the keyboard is spill-resistant and has drains should something spill on it. It's not a backlit keyboard, but HP built in a small pop-out LED lamp above the LCD next to the 2-megapixel Webcam that provides enough light to make working in the dark possible. Above the keyboard are touch-sensitive keys for turning the touch pad and wireless on and off; launching a calculator and e-mail and Web applications; and volume and mute controls. The e-mail and Web keys work when the system is completely shut down by opening HP's QuickLook 3 for reading e-mail and contact information from Outlook and QuickWeb for simple Web surfing. We're still not sure anyone uses these preboot environments--especially with Windows 7 booting reasonably fast--but it's there if you want to give it a try. If you're the type not to carry a smartphone or have one but want fast access to all your messages, appointments, and contacts--past and present--it's a valuable addition.

Below the keyboard is a disappointingly small touch pad (also clear-coated to reduce wear), though it is joined by a pointstick. Each has a set of three buttons for left and right clicks and scrolling up. They are user-programmable, too. The touch pad has multitouch support, but with it being so small, it's not always the easiest to use.

Included with HP's EliteBook workstations are several helpful applications for performance and security. There's the HP Performance Advisor (originally called the HP Performance Tuning Framework) that not only gives you at-a-glance information about your system--everything from component details to performance monitoring--but can be used to optimize the system for individual applications as well as keep them and drivers up-to-date. It basically gives you a single interface for managing your hardware and software for peak performance.

Another application, the HP Power Assistant, lets you easily manage power consumption, which is critical if you're trying to get work done before your battery empties out. Like the Performance Advisor, it's a single easy-to-use interface for viewing and adjusting your power usage and battery life. There are a handful of profile presets or you can set up your own for specific needs. For each profile you can decide what services and devices are managed by the computer. You can view power usage over time, too, to see approximately what it's costing you to run the system. It can even tell you what your carbon footprint is.

For security there's HP ProtectTools, which has options for complete data shredding for files, folders, and storage drives, drive encryption, and setting up preboot security, and, should you forget your password, it has a SpareKey feature that lets you answer three personal questions to identify yourself. Our review system also had a fingerprint scanner that makes it easier to set up all of these features in addition to adding another layer of security. Lastly, HP includes Computrace LoJack Pro, which can do a remote wipe of the system and help locate the laptop should it be lost or stolen.

The 8540w can be found with one of three LED-backlit LCDs. The base model uses a 1,600x900-pixel resolution display, but there are step-up models with FHD 1,920x1,080-pixel resolution screens. Our review sample had HP's top-of-the-line option, though: a 15.6-inch wide-screen DreamColor 2 RGB LED-backlit 30-bit LCD.

It, too, has a 1,920x1,080-pixel native resolution, but it's an in-plane-switching (IPS) panel instead of a twisted nematic (TN) panel found on most other laptops. This allows for accurate color reproduction (it has 10 bits per color channel and supports more than 1 billion colors versus the 18-bit color accuracy and 260,000 colors of an average display) and a 178-degree-wide viewing angle. Color gamut coverage is 128 percent of AdobeRGB, 130 percent of NTSC, and 149 percent of sRGB/Rec. 709. The HP Mobile Display Assistant software gives you control over color space presets and the capability to specify luminance to correspond with color space (AdobeRGB and sRGB), and to set a specific white point, depending on the type of work being done. There are multiple color space emulation presets, including native/full gamut (no internal color management applied), sRGB, AdobeRGB, SMPTE-C, Rec709, DCI-P3 emulation, and one user-defined color space. It's a serious display for professional use and comes with a hefty $425 cost from the base 1,600x900-pixel resolution LCD.

The port and I/O connections on the 8540w are ample, including five USB ports, two of which are USB 3.0. The power input and VGA connector are on the back where we like them on desktop replacements, though we wish the DisplayPort were back there, too. By the way, the 8540w can support up to four external displays via an optional dock; the docking connector is on the bottom of the system along with one for a secondary battery. The stereo speakers pump loud and clear, but they're light on bass. We're OK with that, since audio pros will likely want to take advantage of the stereo headphone/line out jack.

ASIX does not provide a Surface RT compatible driver for installation. Gigabit ethernet. A driver CD-ROM* is also provided in the packaging with the product. Note: ARM-based Windows 8/8.1 tablets such as the Microsoft Surface RT do not have drivers for the ASIX 88179 built in. Windows PC’s with internet access should automatically download and install drivers from Windows Update.

Not sure which drivers to choose?

To put it simply, a specific Biostar device and a specific Windows OS require a corresponding Biostar driver. Biostar bios update utility.
