HP Compaq dc5850 sff

Hello,

I want ask: I have got a HP Compaq dc5850 sff desktop pc, and I m searching for a recovery disk. I have a Vista product key (so it should be a Vista recovery disk), but, if there is a way, I will upgrade to Windows 7. I searched on HP website, but there isn t any way, how to get this recovery disk. Plz does anybody know, where I can get this disk?

Hi:

 

Unfortunately, HP no longer sells recovery media for that model series.

 

You can still order vista recovery media from this non-HP vendor but if you don't live in the United States, the shipping costs may be very high.
