 Greetings,

Welcome to the forum.

I am not a HP employee.

 

Your PC is now running Windows Vista with no problems. Vista has been retired; no Microsoft security updates. You are at risk.

 

I am surprised your PC was able to recover to Vista after installing Windows 10.

 

Your PC must have been manufactured by HP prior to 2009.

 

I am guessing your PC is not able to run the latest versions of Windows 10.

 

You should back up data ASAP and think about buying a new HP PC.

 

Regards
