Had a BSOD and Windows would not open. Went to Recovery and started the process by choosing what I wanted to backup. I chose Pictures, Documents, Downloads and was able to back up and save to my external the backup. Then I tried to proceed and was not able to download the operating system (Windows 10 64 bit) nor the programs that came with the HP Computer.
I am wondering if I could install Windows 10 and then utilize the data that I have backed up and install into the new installation of Windows 10. I realize I won't get any of the programs that came with my HP Pavilion but at least I would have the operating system and all of my data.
Is this possible. Please advise. I can download a Microsoft ISO of Windows 10, install it, and then hopefully introduce the data from the data I saved. Thanks so much for any and all assistance..

Hi:
Yes, you can do that, but first check to see if your notebook is supported by the HP cloud recovery tool, which you can use to create a bootable USB recovery drive that will reinstall W10, the drivers and the software that originally come with your PC.
Here is an info link for how to use that utility...

You will need to have access to another PC running Windows 7 64 bit or newer and a 32 GB USB flash drive to create the recovery media with.
