If so, it might fail for a guest running in a VM host pretending to run
on different hardware. This might not be the case for all VMs and also
not be an issue when running wine. I don't know, but it might be worth
testing in case the executable should check the hardware. However,it
seems to be of no importance here, since HP does ask for information
regarding the used hardware before downloading the Windows executable
and since HP mentions to use another Windows computer, if the HP
computer's Windows won't start. I doubt that the particular Windows
executable does check the hardware at all.
