How can i type and transfer notes to my HP prime G2 from my computer? - batx27 - 07-27-2023 01:11 AM

Title asks pretty much everything.

I have a chromebook, and was wondering if I could like make a text file and download it, but I don't know where the hell you get a CONNECTIVITY Kit.

Any help would be a blessing!!!!!!

Hello, connectivity kit is a windows app. I think it exists for Mac as well but it is a few years older.
Not sure if you can do this from a Chromebook
If you have access to a windows system, then you can transfer your notes between the computer and your prime.
You can get the connectivity kit from here https://www.hpcalc.org/details/8938

There is no ConnKit for ChromeOS. Also, there is no Text/Notes app, so no simple way to type in and transfer simple text notes. This was done (i.e. not created) deliberately by HP to satisfy the various boards that evaluate calculators to approve them for tests; notes is a no-no for them for obvious reasons. Doh!!

Hi Bob, according to the manual there are 2 ways to store notes. I have not used any of them but I assumed they were generally available. Please see attachment
Maybe I am wrong.
Edit: you can access the notes catalog with shift+0

Wow, I apologize, I was absolutely wrong about that, how embarrassing. I am not sure what it is I was recalling, as it's clear it's not the Prime, "Notes" is right there on the keyboard. Another in a long list of features I've never used on the Prime.

As self-punishment, I'm leaving that gaff right there as I wrote it...

Thank you nickapos! you are right and were right to correct me.

I really need to stay out of trying to help answer Prime questions...
