original operating system in cases where the hard drive is corrupted or has been replaced. For
information on creating recovery media, see

Use Windows tools to create system restore points and create backups of personal information.

If storage is 32 GB or less, Microsoft System Restore is disabled by default.
Creating HP Recovery media (select products only)
