My laptop is a TGNotebook.  I bought it new this year.  There is no MODEL number on the user's guide.  But there is  a tag on the computer that says msip-rmi-thg-n1502; zu12092=14001; kcc-crm-tnt-zu60hmwbn; n1502-1b16-j001 (all letters in caps).  The user's "guide" has almost no instructions and no specs.  How-ever, one of the illustrations does say "webcam" and points to what looks like a lens above the screen.  I am running Windows 8.1 with automatic updates from Microsoft.

My QUESTION is:  How do I activate and USE my webcam?  (I read on an HP advice set to go to BIOS and activate it.  A search of my computer brings up no hits for "BIOS.")

Also, I bought earphones and a mike.  I have that line plugged in to the mike outlet, but sound still comes out of the regular speaker.  I looked at the hardware SECTION in my computer, but I didn't see any-thing that said camera/webcam; nor did I see any-thing about either built-in speakers nor the headphones I just plugged in.

I want to set this STUFF up for Skype.
