HP Z440 Recovery

[z440x2]

Hi All, I need the HP Windows 10 x64 recovery discs which include the OS and drivers for my HP Z440 workstation. I tried looking for it on the HP website and its useless. I also tried the HP Cloud Recovery Tool and its not working. Any suggestions? I really would not like to spend money on buying a Windows 10 OS. P.S> I have 2 of these Z440 workstations to reccover.

Hi:

You can make a bootable USB recovery drive with the HP cloud recovery client utility.

Here is an info link for how to use the utility:

HP Business PCs - Using the HP Cloud Recovery Client in Windows 11 and Windows 10 | HP® Support

You can download the software from your PC's support page at the link below:

Note:  If the PC's came with FreeDOS and not Windows, then you will have to supply your own W10 OS and product keys.

The cloud recovery client utility only works on PC's that came with Windows from HP.

PCs that came with Windows have W10 product keys encrypted in the BIOS.

The PC's with that came with FreeDOS do not.
