HP ENVY All-in-One - 27-b235t

My hard drive failed, and I need to reinstall Windows. It came with Windows 10, but I upgraded to Windows 11. The HP Cloud Recovery tool does not recognize my product ID. 

Product No.X6X16AA#ABA

HP has withdrawn support for the HP cloud recovery tool since your PC is 5 or more years old.

 

You have two options:

 

If you have access to another Windows PC, you can clean install W11 for free by making a bootable USB installation flash drive with the media creation tool from the link below (2nd option):

 

Download Windows 11

 

After W11 has completed installing you can install the drivers and available software from your PC's support page.

If you don't have access to another PC or you would prefer to have the original HP factory software image, you can order a recovery kit from this vendor at the link below.

Then you can upgrade back to W11 for free.
