The first one is “My Devices”, where user can not only list their currently detected and registered HP devices, but also see messages related to their health status, specification listings, and listing of all connected accessories. Here users can also access the most popular troubleshooting services for printers, power plans, and other Ease of Access topics.

The next tab is “My Services”, where users can register their HP device online and discover if they are eligible for any of the warranty/extended service offerings from HP. The third tab is “Support”, and from there, users can quickly add their current location, device, and set up an online request ticket for solving some of the issues that cannot be fixed easily. The final tab is “Profile”, where users can manage their online HP account.
