I have been tearing my hair out trying  to find a solution to HP not including CD/DVD drive and MS requiring a CD/DVD for restoring a system image.

@lewishilary Welcome to HP Community!

 

I understand that you are unable to perform system restore.

 

In that case, you will have to order a recovery media: Click here for steps.

 

Or you may also attempt to download the same using the steps on this link: click here
