Key features:
What to expect from the chassis and platform: the Pro SFF 290 G9 is a small‑form‑factor business desktop with multiple internal bays and expansion slots, M.2 storage support, and a standard set of I/O (USB, HDMI, optional VGA), plus security features like firmware TPM and HP Drive Lock for drive protection.

- Ports and connectors: front and rear USB, HDMI, audio, and RJ‑45 LAN; some ports vary by CPU/graphics configuration.
OS, warranty, and support
The unit you described ships with FreeDOS, which means no Windows license is preinstalled; HP documents list Windows 11 Pro/Home options for this platform if you prefer to install Microsoft Windows later. Retailers commonly include a 1‑year warranty on business desktops, but exact coverage and service level depend on the seller and region — confirm with your invoice or the reseller listing. For drivers, BIOS updates, and official support resources, use HP’s support pages for the Pro 290 G9 family.
Practical recommendations
- Upgrade RAM to 16GB or 32GB (add matching DDR4‑3200 modules) for noticeably better multitasking.
- Add a larger NVMe or a secondary 2.5" SSD/HDD if you need more storage.
- Install Windows 11 Pro if you need enterprise features; ensure you have a valid license before installation.
- Check HP support for BIOS and driver updates after any OS install to ensure full hardware compatibility.
