What version of operating system do you have ? Windows 7 32bit perhaps?
The HP page shows that device shipped with FreeDOS 1.2.

Please double check.
In Wn10 bring up File Explorer , Right click This PC, and select Properties.
The bit type is near the top, in the System section.

In Win7, Click the Start button, right click on My Computer, and then select properties.
