Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

II assume the data on the recovery partition is only for windows 7.  Would there be any problems with deleting the data in the recovery partition or the partition itself  a year after updating to win 10?

Hi

 

You have a digital entitlement to reinstall Windows 10 on this PC for as long as it is functional.

 

The Windows 7 Recovery partition is not relevant.

 

I hope you made an HP Recovery disc set or USB drive in case you have to go back to the factory operating system for HP support or general troubleshooting.

@45latte, welcome back to the forum.

 

This will not be a problem if you made the Recovery media when you bought the computer.  It will allow you to do the Recovery if necessary.  Otherwise, you will have to buy a full version of Win 10 if you have problems.
