I never use any recovery disk (CD/DVD).  That info will be outdated.

Instead, I much prefer downloading the latest Windows ISO image and then use RUFUS utility (www.rufus.ie) to create a bootable USB (or CD/DVD) with the latest Windows version.  Then install HP Support Assistant to get all the drivers.
