Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Background Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company ("Hewlett Packard Enterprise," "HPE," or the "Company") is a global technology leader focused on developing intelligent solutions that allow customers to capture, analyze and act upon data seamlessly from edge-to-cloud. Hewlett Packard Enterprise enables customers to accelerate business outcomes by driving new business models, creating new customer and employee experiences, and increasing operational efficiency today and into the future. Hewlett Packard Enterprise's customers range from small- and medium-sized businesses to large global enterprises and governmental entities. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with United States ("U.S.") Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries and affiliates in which the Company has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and accounts within the consolidated businesses of the Company have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Hewlett Packard Enterprise contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of July 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022, its results of operations for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, its cash flows for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, and its statements of stockholders' equity for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023 and the cash flows for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on December 8, 2022. Segment Realignment Effective as of the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2023, in orde r to align its segment financial reporting more closely with its current business structure, the Company implemented an organizational change with the transfer of certain storage networking products, previously reported within the Storage reportable segment, to the Compute reportable segment. The Company reflected these changes to its segment information retrospectively to the earliest period presented, which primarily resulted in the realignment of net revenue and operating profit for each of the segments as described above. These changes had no impact on Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s previously reported consolidated net revenue, net earnings, net earnings per share ("EPS") or total assets. Significant Accounting Policies There have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies described in Part II, Item 8, Note 1, "Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022. Russia/Ukraine Conflict In June 2022, the Company determined that it is no longer tenable to maintain its operations in Russia and Belarus and announced its decision to execute an orderly, managed exit of its remaining business in these countries. For the three months ended July 31, 2022, the Company recorded total pre-tax charges of $36 million primarily related to employee severance and abandoned assets, $6 million of which was included in Cost of services and $30 million in Disaster charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The Company recorded $16 million of net income tax charges, primarily as a result of recording a valuation allowance on deferred taxes, in the Provision for taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings in connection with these charges. For the nine months ended July 31, 2022, the Company recorded total pre-tax charges of $162 million primarily related to expected credit losses of financing and trade receivables, employee severance and abandoned assets, $99 million of which was included in Financing cost, $12 million in Cost of services and $51 million in Disaster charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The Company recorded $9 million of net income tax benefit in the Provision for taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings related to these charges. Recently Enacted Accounting Pronouncements Although there are new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") that the Company will adopt, as applicable, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company launched the Cost Optimization and Prioritization Plan, which focuses on realigning the workforce to areas of growth, a new hybrid workforce model called Edge-to-Office, real estate strategies, and simplifying and evolving our product portfolio strategy. The implementation period of the primary elements of the Cost Optimization and Prioritization Plan is anticipated to be through fiscal 2023. During the remaining implementation period, the Company expects to incur transformation costs predominantly related to labor restructuring, non-labor restructuring, IT investments, design and execution charges and real estate initiatives. During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company launched the HPE Next Plan to put in place a purpose-built company designed to compete and win in the markets where it participates. Through this program, the Company is simplifying the operating model, and streamlining its offerings, business processes and business systems to improve its strategy execution. The implementation period of the primary elements of the HPE Next Plan is anticipated to be through fiscal 2023. During the remaining implementation period, the Company expects to incur predominantly IT infrastructure costs for streamlining, upgrading, and simplifying back-end operations, and real estate initiatives. These costs are expected to be offset by gains from real estate sales and sublease income from inactive office space.

The effective tax rate generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due to favorable tax rates associated with certain earnings from the Company’s operations in lower tax jurisdictions throughout the world but are also impacted by discrete tax adjustments during each fiscal period. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023, the Company recorded $8 million of net income tax charges and $17 million of net income tax benefits, respectively, related to various items discrete to the period. For the three months ended July 31, 2023, this amount primarily included $15 million of net income tax charges related to U.S. and foreign provision to tax return changes and $11 million of net income tax charges related to tax audit settlements and changes in uncertain tax positions, partially offset by $19 million of net income tax benefits related to transformation costs, and acquisition, disposition and other related charges.

For the nine months ended July 31, 2022, this amount primarily included $64 million of income tax benefits related to transformation costs, and acquisition, disposition and other related charges, $43 million of net income tax benefits related to the settlement of U.S. tax audit matters, $30 million of income tax benefits related to tax liabilities for which the Company shared joint and several liability with HP Inc. and for which the Company was indemnified by HP Inc., $12 million of net income tax benefits related to the settlement of foreign tax audit matters, $12 million of income tax benefits as a result of the fiscal 2021 U.S. tax return filing primarily from the decrease in GILTI, and $9 million of net income tax benefits on pre-tax charges incurred related to the Company’s exit from its Russia and Belarus businesses. Uncertain Tax Positions As of July 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $711 million and $674 million, respectively, of which up to $421 million and $386 million, respectively, would affect the Company's effective tax rate if realized as of their respective periods. For tax liabilities pertaining to unrecognized tax benefits, the Company recognizes interest income from favorable settlements and interest expense and penalties in Provision for taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The Company recognized interest expense of $5 million and interest income of $4 million for the three months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company recognized interest income of $5 million and $41 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company recognized interest income in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 due to the release of reserves as a result of the effective settlement of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) audit for fiscal 2016. As of July 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022, the Company had accrued $76 million and $81 million, respectively, for interest and penalties in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company engages in continuous discussion and negotiation with tax authorities regarding tax matters in various jurisdictions. The IRS is conducting an audit of the Company's fiscal 2017, 2018, and 2019 U.S. federal income tax returns. The IRS may conclude its examination in the coming quarters and issue notices of proposed adjustments, the effect of which we would evaluate for financial statement purposes when received. Additionally, it is reasonably possible that certain foreign and state tax issues may be concluded in the next 12 months, including issues involving resolution of certain intercompany transactions and other matters; accordingly, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that its existing unrecognized tax benefits for these matters may be reduced by an amount up to $36 million within the next 12 months.

For the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, the Company sold $179 million and $183 million of financing receivables, respectively. Credit Quality Indicators Due to the homogeneous nature of its leasing transactions, the Company manages its financing receivables on an aggregate basis when assessing and monitoring credit risk. Credit risk is generally diversified due to the large number of entities comprising the Company's customer base and their dispersion across many different industries and geographic regions. The Company evaluates the credit quality of an obligor at lease inception and monitors that credit quality over the term of a transaction. The Company assigns risk ratings to each lease based on the creditworthiness of the obligor and other variables that augment or mitigate the inherent credit risk of a particular transaction and periodically updates the risk ratings when there is a change in the underlying credit quality. Such variables include the underlying value and liquidity of the collateral, the essential use of the equipment, the term of the lease, and the inclusion of credit enhancements, such as guarantees, letters of credit or security deposits. The credit risk profile of gross financing receivables, based on internal risk ratings as of July 31, 2023, presented on amortized cost basis by year of origination was as follows: As of July 31, 2023 Risk Rating Low Moderate High Fiscal Year In millions 2023 $ 1,619 $ 963 $ 20 2022 1,886 1,194 55 2021 1,028 766 65 2020 456 360 52 2019 and prior 199 291 116 Total $ 5,188 $ 3,574 $ 308 The credit risk profile of gross financing receivables, based on internal risk ratings as of October 31, 2022, presented on amortized cost basis by year of origination was as follows: As of October 31, 2022 Risk Rating Low Moderate High Fiscal Year In millions 2022 $ 1,987 $ 1,277 $ 44 2021 1,338 1,071 42 2020 756 571 67 2019 328 336 69 2018 and prior 143 234 96 Total $ 4,552 $ 3,489 $ 318 Accounts rated low risk typically have the equivalent of a Standard & Poor's rating of BBB– or higher, while accounts rated moderate risk generally have the equivalent of BB+ or lower. The Company classifies accounts as high risk when it considers the financing receivable to be impaired or when management believes there is a significant near-term risk of impairment. The credit quality indicators do not reflect any mitigation actions taken to transfer credit risk to third parties. Allowance for Credit Losses The allowance for credit losses for financing receivables as of July 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022 and the respective changes for the nine and twelve months then ended were as follows: As of July 31, 2023 October 31, 2022 In millions Balance at beginning of period $ 325 $ 228 Provision for credit losses (1) 41 177 Adjustment to the existing allowance — (10) Write-offs (98) (70) Balance at end of period $ 268 $ 325 (1) Fiscal 2022 included a provision of $99 million related to expected credit losses due to the Company's exit from its Russia and Belarus businesses.

The asset-backed debt securities are collateralized by the U.S. fixed-term financing receivables and leased equipment in the offering, which is held by a Special Purpose Entity ("SPE"). The SPE meets the definition of a Variable Interest Entity ("VIE") and is consolidated, along with the associated debt, into the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The SPE is a bankruptcy-remote legal entity with separate assets and liabilities. The purpose of the SPE is to facilitate the funding of customer receivables and leased equipment in the capital markets. The Company’s risk of loss related to securitized receivables and leased equipment is limited to the amount by which the Company’s right to receive collections for assets securitized exceeds the amount required to pay interest, principal, and fees and expenses related to the asset-backed securities. The following table presents the assets and liabilities held by the consolidated VIE as of July 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022, which are included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, is not deductible for tax purposes. The following table presents the aggregate estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including those items that are still pending allocations, for the acquisitions completed during the first nine months of fiscal 2023: In millions Goodwill $ 591 Amortizable intangible assets 208 Net tangible assets assumed 41 Total fair value consideration $ 840 On May 2, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of OpsRamp, an IT operations management company that monitors, observes, automates and manages IT infrastructure, cloud resources, workloads and applications for hybrid and multi-cloud environments, including the leading hyperscalers. OpsRamp’s results of operations were included within the Corporate Investments and Other segment. The acquisition date fair value consideration of $307 million primarily consisted of cash paid for outstanding common stock. In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded approximately $220 million of goodwill, and $84 million of intangible assets. The Company is amortizing the intangible assets on a straight-line basis over an estimated weighted-average useful life of five years.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill	Goodwill Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. As of July 31, 2023, the Company's reporting units are consistent with the reportable segments identified in Note 2, with the exception of Corporate Investments and Other, which contains five reporting units: A & PS, Athonet, legacy CMS, OpsRamp and Software. The following table represents the carrying value of goodwill, by reportable segment as of July 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022. There has been no change to the accumulated impairment loss from the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022. Compute HPC & AI Storage Intelligent Edge Financial Services Corporate Investments and Other Total In millions Balance as of October 31, 2022 (1) $ 7,692 $ 2,889 $ 4,000 $ 2,555 $ 144 $ 123 $ 17,403 Goodwill acquired during the period — 18 — 311 — 262 591 Balance as of July 31, 2023 $ 7,692 $ 2,907 $ 4,000 $ 2,866 $ 144 $ 385 $ 17,994 (1) As a result of the organizational realignments which were effective as of November 1, 2022, (described in Note 1 , "Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies"), $160 million of goodwill was reallocated from the Storage segment to the Compute segment as of the beginning of the period using a relative fair value approach. The Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill on an annual basis as of the beginning of its fourth fiscal quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate there may be a potential impairment. As of the annual test date in fiscal 2022, the HPC & AI reporting unit had goodwill of $2.9 billion and an excess of fair value over carrying value of net assets of 0%. The HPC & AI reporting unit relies significantly on the income approach which estimates the fair value based on the present value of future cash flows. The HPC & AI business continues to face challenges related to supply chain constraints of key components and other operational challenges impacting the Company’s ability to achieve certain customer acceptance milestones required for revenue recognition and resulting cost increases associated with fulfilling contracts over longer than originally anticipated timelines. The Company currently believes these challenges will be successfully addressed as the supply chain constraints continue to improve. If the global macroeconomic or geopolitical conditions worsen, projected revenue growth rates or operating margins decline, weighted average cost of capital increases, or if the Company has significant or sustained decline in its stock price, it is possible its estimates about the HPC & AI reporting unit's ability to successfully address the current challenges may change, which could result in the carrying value of the HPC & AI reporting unit exceeding its estimated fair value and potential impairment charges.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value	Fair ValueFair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company uses valuation techniques that are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are developed using market data such as publicly available information and reflect the assumptions market participants would use, while unobservable inputs are developed using the best information available about the assumptions market participants would use. The following table presents the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis: As of July 31, 2023 As of October 31, 2022 Fair Value Fair Value Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Remaining Inputs (Level 2) Significant Other Unobservable Remaining Inputs (Level 3) Total Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Remaining Inputs (Level 2) Significant Other Unobservable Remaining Inputs (Level 3) Total In millions Assets Cash Equivalents and Investments: Time deposits $ — $ 1,143 $ — $ 1,143 $ — $ 1,516 $ — $ 1,516 Money market funds 366 — — 366 744 — — 744 Equity investments — — 131 131 — — 126 126 Foreign bonds 1 103 — 104 — 91 — 91 Other debt securities — — 16 16 — — 33 33 Derivative Instruments: Foreign exchange contracts — 253 — 253 — 840 — 840 Other derivatives — 4 — 4 — 2 — 2 Total assets $ 367 $ 1,503 $ 147 $ 2,017 $ 744 $ 2,449 $ 159 $ 3,352 Liabilities Derivative Instruments: Interest rate contracts $ — $ 157 $ — $ 157 $ — $ 178 $ — $ 178 Foreign exchange contracts — 351 — 351 — 128 — 128 Other derivatives — — — — — 1 — 1 Total liabilities $ — $ 508 $ — $ 508 $ — $ 307 $ — $ 307 Other Fair Value Disclosures Short-Term and Long-Term Debt As of July 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the Company's short-term and long-term debt was $13.5 billion and $12.2 billion, respectively. As of July 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022, the carrying value of the Company's short-term and long-term debt was $13.4 billion and $12.5 billion, respectively. If measured at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, short-term and long-term debt would be classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Other Financial Instruments Financial instruments, including accounts receivable and accounts payable, are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value due to their short-term nature. Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements Equity Investments without Readily Determinable Fair Value Equity investments are recorded at cost and measured at fair value when they are deemed to be impaired or when there is an adjustment from observable price changes. For the three months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized an immaterial unrealized net gain on these investments. For the nine months ended July 31, 2023, the Company recognized an unrealized net loss of $6 million on these investments which included an impairment of $10 million. For the nine months ended July 31, 2022, the Company recorded an immaterial impairment on these investments. If measured at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, these would generally be classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. For investments still held as of July 31, 2023, the cumulative upward adjustments for observable price changes was $33 million and cumulative downward adjustments for observable price changes and impairments was $40 million. Refer to Note 11 “Financial Instruments,” for further information about equity investments. Non-Financial Assets The Company's non-financial assets, such as intangible assets, goodwill, and property, plant and equipment, are recorded at cost. The Company records right-of-use assets based on the lease liability, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, and the lessee's initial direct costs. Fair value adjustments are made to these non-financial assets in the period an impairment charge is recognized. There are no material impairment charges for three and nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Litigation, Contingencies, and Commitments	Litigation, Contingencies, and Commitments Litigation Hewlett Packard Enterprise is involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings including those consisting of intellectual property, commercial, securities, employment, employee benefits, and environmental matters, which arise in the ordinary course of business. In addition, as part of the Separation and Distribution Agreement (the "Separation and Distribution Agreement") entered into in connection with Hewlett Packard Enterprise's spin-off from HP Inc. (formerly known as "Hewlett-Packard Company") (the "Separation"), Hewlett Packard Enterprise and HP Inc. agreed to cooperate with each other in managing certain existing litigation related to both parties' businesses. The Separation and Distribution Agreement included provisions that allocate liability and financial responsibility for pending litigation involving the parties, as well as provide for cross-indemnification of the parties against liabilities to one party arising out of liabilities allocated to the other party. The Separation and Distribution Agreement also included provisions that assign to the parties responsibility for managing pending and future litigation related to the general corporate matters of HP Inc. arising prior to the Separation. Hewlett Packard Enterprise records a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both the probability of having incurred a liability and the estimated amount of the liability. Hewlett Packard Enterprise reviews these matters at least quarterly and adjusts these liabilities to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other updated information and events pertaining to a particular matter. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. However, Hewlett Packard Enterprise believes it has valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against us. Nevertheless, cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the resolution of one or more of these contingencies. Hewlett Packard Enterprise believes it has recorded adequate provisions for any such matters and, as of July 31, 2023, it was not reasonably possible that a material loss had been incurred in connection with such matters in excess of the amounts recognized in its financial statements. Litigation, Proceedings, and Investigations Ross and Rogus v. Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company. On November 8, 2018, a putative class action complaint was filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara alleging that HPE pays its California-based female employees “systemically lower compensation” than HPE pays male employees performing substantially similar work. The complaint alleges various California state law claims, including California’s Equal Pay Act, Fair Employment and Housing Act, and Unfair Competition Law, and seeks certification of a California-only class of female employees employed in certain “Covered Positions.” The parties subsequently reached an agreement to resolve this class action. The terms of the settlement are reflected in Plaintiff’s Motion for Preliminary Approval of Class Action Settlement and Certification of Settlement Class, which was filed with the Court on September 26, 2022. On November 3, 2022, the Court granted Plaintiff’s motion and preliminarily approved the terms of the class settlement, which defines the settlement class as all “[w]omen actively employed in California by Defendant at any point from November 1, 2015, through the date of Preliminary Approval” who were employed in a covered job code. The settlement class excludes certain individuals, including those who previously executed an arbitration agreement with HPE or an agreement that resulted in a release or waiver of claims. On April 28, 2023, the Court granted Plaintiffs’ Motion for Final Approval of the Class Action Settlement and Certification of the Settlement Class. The Court has scheduled a compliance hearing for September 28, 2023, to assess the distribution of the settlement fund to the class members. India Directorate of Revenue Intelligence Proceedings . On April 30 and May 10, 2010, the India Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (the "DRI") issued notices to Hewlett-Packard India Sales Private Ltd ("HP India"), a subsidiary of HP Inc., seven HP India employees and one former HP India employee alleging that HP India underpaid customs duties while importing products and spare parts into India and seeking to recover an aggregate of approximately $370 million, plus penalties. On April 11, 2012, the Bangalore Commissioner of Customs issued an order on the products-related notices affirming duties and penalties against HP India and the named individuals for approximately $386 million. On April 20, 2012, the Commissioner issued an order on the spare parts-related notice affirming duties and penalties against HP India and certain of the named individuals for approximately $17 million. HP India filed appeals of the Commissioner's orders before the Customs Tribunal. The Customs Department filed cross-appeals before the Customs Tribunal. On October 27, 2014, the Customs Tribunal commenced hearings on the cross-appeals of the Commissioner's orders. The Customs Tribunal rejected HP India's request to return the matter to the Commissioner on procedural grounds. The hearings before the Customs Tribunal were subsequently delayed, have been postponed on several occasions since 2014, and have not yet been rescheduled. ECT Proceedings . In January 2011, the postal service of Brazil, Empresa Brasileira de Correios e Telégrafos (“ECT”), notified a former subsidiary of HP Inc. in Brazil ("HP Brazil") that it had initiated administrative proceedings to consider whether to suspend HP Brazil's right to bid and contract with ECT related to alleged improprieties in the bidding and contracting processes whereby employees of HP Brazil and employees of several other companies allegedly coordinated their bids and fixed results for three ECT contracts in 2007 and 2008. In late July 2011, ECT notified HP Brazil it had decided to apply the penalties against HP Brazil and suspend HP Brazil's right to bid and contract with ECT for five years, based upon the evidence before it. In August 2011, HP Brazil appealed ECT's decision. In April 2013, ECT rejected HP Brazil's appeal, and the administrative proceedings were closed with the penalties against HP Brazil remaining in place. In parallel, in September 2011, HP Brazil filed a civil action against ECT seeking to have ECT's decision revoked. HP Brazil also requested an injunction suspending the application of the penalties until a final ruling on the merits of the case, which was denied. HP Brazil appealed the denial of its request for injunctive relief to the intermediate appellate court, which issued a preliminary ruling denying the request for injunctive relief but reducing the length of the sanctions from five Forsyth, et al. vs. HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. This purported class and collective action was filed on August 18, 2016 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, against HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (collectively, “Defendants”) alleging Defendants violated the Federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, California public policy and the California Business and Professions Code by terminating older workers and replacing them with younger workers. Plaintiffs seek to certify a nationwide collective action under the ADEA comprised of individuals aged 40 years and older who had their employment terminated by an HP entity pursuant to a work force reduction (“WFR”) plan. Plaintiffs also seek to certify a class under California law consisting of all persons 40 years or older employed by Defendants in the state of California and terminated pursuant to a WFR plan on or after August 18, 2012. On April 14, 2021, Plaintiffs’ Motion for Conditional Class Certification was granted. The conditionally certified collective action consists of all individuals who had their employment terminated by Defendants pursuant to a WFR Plan on or after November 1, 2015, and who were 40 years or older at the time of such termination. The collective action excludes all individuals who signed a Waiver and General Release Agreement or an Agreement to Arbitrate Claims. The Court-approved notice was issued to potential class members and the opt-in period is now closed. The parties have reached an agreement in principle to resolve this matter. The parties are currently working to negotiate a formal settlement agreement that, if finalized, would be submitted to the Court for approval. Oracle America, Inc., et al. v. Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (Terix copyright matter). On March 22, 2016, Oracle filed a complaint against HPE in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging copyright infringement, interference with contract, intentional interference with prospective economic relations, and unfair competition. Oracle’s claims arise out of HPE’s prior use of a third-party maintenance provider named Terix Computer Company, Inc. (“Terix”). Oracle contends that in connection with HPE’s use of Terix as a subcontractor for certain customers of HPE’s multivendor support business, Oracle’s copyrights were infringed, and HPE is liable for vicarious and contributory infringement and related claims. Trial began on May 23, 2022. On June 15, 2022, the jury returned its verdict, awarding $30 million in compensatory damages to Oracle and rejecting Oracle’s request for punitive damages. The parties have since reached an agreement to resolve this dispute. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, the case has been dismissed and the matter is closed. Q3 Networking Litigation. On September 21 and September 22, 2020, Q3 Networking LLC filed complaints against HPE, Aruba Networks, Commscope and Netgear in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and the United States International Trade Commission (“ITC”). Both complaints allege infringement of four patents, and the ITC complaint defines the “accused products” as “routers, access points, controllers, network management servers, other networking products, and hardware and software components thereof.” The ITC action was instituted on October 23, 2020. The District of Delaware action has been stayed pending resolution of the ITC action. On December 7, 2021, the Administrative Law Judge issued his initial determination finding no violation of section 337 of the Tariff Act. On May 3, 2022, the ITC issued its Notice of Final Determination, affirming the initial determination and terminating the investigation. On June 18, 2022, Q3 Networking filed a petition for review of the ITC ruling with the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Shared Litigation with HP Inc., DXC and Micro Focus As part of the Separation and Distribution Agreements between Hewlett Packard Enterprise and HP Inc., Hewlett Packard Enterprise and DXC, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Seattle SpinCo, the parties to each agreement agreed to cooperate with each other in managing certain existing litigation related to both parties' businesses. The Separation and Distribution Agreements also included provisions that assign to the parties responsibility for managing pending and future litigation related to the general corporate matters of HP Inc. (in the case of the separation of Hewlett Packard Enterprise from HP Inc.) or of Hewlett Packard Enterprise (in the case of the separation of DXC from Hewlett Packard Enterprise and the separation of Seattle SpinCo from Hewlett Packard Enterprise), in each case arising prior to the applicable separation. Environmental The Company's operations and products are or may in the future become subject to various federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations concerning the environment, including laws addressing the discharge of pollutants into the air and water; the management, movement, and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes; the clean-up of contaminated sites; product safety and compliance; the energy consumption of products, services, and operations; and the operational or financial responsibility for recycling, treatment, and disposal of those products. This includes legislation that makes producers of electrical goods, including servers and networking equipment, financially responsible for specified collection, recycling, treatment, and disposal of past and future covered products (sometimes referred to as "product take-back legislation"). The Company could incur substantial costs, its products could be restricted from entering certain jurisdictions, and it could face other sanctions, if it were to violate or become liable under environmental laws, including those related to addressing climate change and other environmental related issues, or if its products become non-compliant with such environmental laws. The Company's potential exposure includes impacts on revenue, fines and civil or criminal sanctions, third-party property damage or personal injury claims and clean-up costs. The amount and timing of costs to comply with environmental laws are difficult to predict. In particular, the Company may become a party to, or otherwise involved in, proceedings brought by U.S. or state environmental agencies under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), known as "Superfund," or other federal, state or foreign laws and regulations addressing the clean-up of contaminated sites, and may become a party to, or otherwise involved in, proceedings brought by private parties for contribution towards clean-up costs. The Company is also contractually obligated to make financial contributions to address actions related to certain environmental liabilities, both ongoing and arising in the future, pursuant to its Separation and Distribution Agreement with HP Inc. Guarantees In the ordinary course of business, the Company may issue performance guarantees to certain of its clients, customers, and other parties pursuant to which the Company has guaranteed the performance obligations of third parties. Some of those guarantees may be backed by standby letters of credit or surety bonds. In general, the Company would be obligated to perform over the term of the guarantee in the event a specified triggering event occurs as defined by the guarantee. The Company believes the likelihood of having to perform under a material guarantee is remote. The Company has entered into service contracts with certain of its clients that are supported by financing arrangements. If a service contract is terminated as a result of the Company's non-performance under the contract or failure to comply with the terms of the financing arrangement, the Company could, under certain circumstances, be required to acquire certain assets related to the service contract. The Company believes the likelihood of having to acquire a material amount of assets under these arrangements is remote. Indemnifications In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contractual arrangements under which the Company may agree to indemnify a third party to such arrangement from any losses incurred relating to the services they perform on behalf of the Company or for losses arising from certain events as defined within the particular contract, which may include, for example, litigation or claims relating to past performance. The Company also provides indemnifications to certain vendors and customers against claims of IP infringement made by third parties arising from the use by such vendors and customers of the Company's software products and support services and certain other matters. Some indemnifications may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, payments made related to these indemnifications have been immaterial.

Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Jul. 31, 2023
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation	Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with United States ("U.S.") Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries and affiliates in which the Company has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and accounts within the consolidated businesses of the Company have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Hewlett Packard Enterprise contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of July 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022, its results of operations for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, its cash flows for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, and its statements of stockholders' equity for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023 and the cash flows for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on December 8, 2022.
Segment Realignment	Segment Realignment Effective as of the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2023, in orde r to align its segment financial reporting more closely with its current business structure, the Company implemented an organizational change with the transfer of certain storage networking products, previously reported within the Storage reportable segment, to the Compute reportable segment. The Company reflected these changes to its segment information retrospectively to the earliest period presented, which primarily resulted in the realignment of net revenue and operating profit for each of the segments as described above. These changes had no impact on Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s previously reported consolidated net revenue, net earnings, net earnings per share ("EPS") or total assets. Segment Policy Hewlett Packard Enterprise does not allocate to its segments certain operating expenses, which it manages at the corporate level. These unallocated operating costs include certain corporate costs and eliminations, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of initial direct costs, amortization of intangible assets, transformation costs, disaster recovery (charges), and acquisition, disposition and other related charges.
Significant Accounting Policies	Significant Accounting Policies There have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies described in Part II, Item 8, Note 1, "Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022. Russia/Ukraine Conflict In June 2022, the Company determined that it is no longer tenable to maintain its operations in Russia and Belarus and announced its decision to execute an orderly, managed exit of its remaining business in these countries. For the three months ended July 31, 2022, the Company recorded total pre-tax charges of $36 million primarily related to employee severance and abandoned assets, $6 million of which was included in Cost of services and $30 million in Disaster charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The Company recorded $16 million of net income tax charges, primarily as a result of recording a valuation allowance on deferred taxes, in the Provision for taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings in connection with these charges. For the nine months ended July 31, 2022, the Company recorded total pre-tax charges of $162 million primarily related to expected credit losses of financing and trade receivables, employee severance and abandoned assets, $99 million of which was included in Financing cost, $12 million in Cost of services and $51 million in Disaster charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The Company recorded $9 million of net income tax benefit in the Provision for taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings related to these charges.
Recently Enacted Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Enacted Accounting Pronouncements Although there are new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") that the Company will adopt, as applicable, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Fair Value	Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.The Company uses valuation techniques that are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are developed using market data such as publicly available information and reflect the assumptions market participants would use, while unobservable inputs are developed using the best information available about the assumptions market participants would use.

Income tax examination, description			The Company engages in continuous discussion and negotiation with tax authorities regarding tax matters in various jurisdictions. The IRS is conducting an audit of the Company's fiscal 2017, 2018, and 2019 U.S. federal income tax returns. The IRS may conclude its examination in the coming quarters and issue notices of proposed adjustments, the effect of which we would evaluate for financial statement purposes when received. Additionally, it is reasonably possible that certain foreign and state tax issues may be concluded in the next 12 months, including issues involving resolution of certain intercompany transactions and other matters; accordingly, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that its existing unrecognized tax benefits for these matters may be reduced by an amount up to $36 million within the next 12 months.
