Product: H8 1280t
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I am wondering if there is any way that I can get HP recovery discs from HP for the above referenced PC. It is

an older model but has served me well and I don't want to trash it. I had recovery disc given to me from a person in Meg Whitman's office but they are no good. Also, when I insert a disc, the screen says no bootmgr. 

I've searched HP for software and drivers, but no luck.

I'm having a problem with it right now - stuck in Auto repair.

Any help appreciated.

Hi:

 

If you want to reinstall W10 you can make your own installation media using the media creation tool at the link below to create either a bootable USB flash drive, or save the ISO file and burn it to a DVD using the Microsoft utility that I zipped up and attached below.

HP no longer sells recovery media for that model series, so if you want W7 recovery media, you will have to purchase it from this vendor...
