It is not an HP problem, they will not authorize a return of your system.

I was with HP help for almost an hour - they wanted me to PAY to get rid of their mistake. My pc is still under warranty. Guess I'll return it.

Go to Windows Updates -> Advanced options, then under Additional options, click on Optional updates.
