Boot Manager is not showing in UEFI Boot sources

The windows repair did nothing. 

I created a USB disk of ultimatebootcd  (http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/)and used  parted Magic/clonezilla to image the old windows and hp recovery partitions (Not the whole disk) to a external USB HDD (Plugged into USB 2.0 port)

I then removed all the partitions with parted magc.

Install win 7 on the system with no partitions, it is easier to reduce windows to a 100mb partition, though you can adjust it later, also don't bother with the product key, skip it.

Reboot ultimate boot CD, choose parted Magic then Partition editor and create a large partition for windows = or larger than what it was when it was imaged. If your new win 7 install took the whole drive, just reduce the partition size and create the large partition to restore to, don't forget the 15gb HP restore as well. If you don't see any partitions or get an error in the partition editor see this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1619381

don't worry about formatting the new partitions. 

To restore, you will need to rename the image files on the external drive created in the second paragraph above. The partition names will have changed, see this link: http://drbl.org/faq/fine-print.php?path=./2_System/102_restore_image_to_different_partition.faq#102_...

After restoration, boot the windows instal disk and repair, it will find your old, restored windows partition. Save and reboot to the old partition. If all is sucessful, you can remove the newly installed win 7 partition and use msconfig in windows to remove the boot entries. You could use parted magic to grow the restored partition if you want.

Then install windows 10 to get a true EFI boot.
