Product: HP ProBook 640 G2 Notebook PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

This stupid question may or may not have been asked before. I have several pieces of HP Probook 640 G2 factory downgraded to Win 7 Pro x64. Not enough to make MS SCCM a reasonable solution but several anyway. I want to utilize the factory recovery partition as disk space and created a recovery USB stick. Can I or can I not use this USB stick on all of my HP ProBook 640 G2's or must I create one to every unit?

If all of the notebooks are HP Probook 640 G2 and have the same configuration and product number, then  a single USB Recovery flash drive is enough.

 

I would make two USB recovery flash drives, given the option, just for redundancy.
