HP TouchSmart 520-1030 All-In-One PC recovery partition deleted

It's probably pointless and silly to try and find help on a retired product, but I figured I'd give it a shot. 

I recently took home our old family computer from my parents. It is an HP TouchSmart 520-1030 All-In-One PC with an Intel Core i3-2120 CPU. I was in the process of dual-booting Windows 11 on it, and I accidentally deleted the recovery partition in the process... This really upset me, as I wanted to hold onto it for preservation purposes, in case the Windows installation ever got corrupted. We don't have the recovery disc anymore and I cannot find anywhere to order a new one or find it listed in the HP Cloud Recovery app since the product is retired.

This is a long shot, but is there any way I could order the recovery disc for this model PC? Or have a download link to some kind of cloud archive of it?

Thanks for reading, I appreciate any help.
