I decided to get bored one day and screw around with my computer and Put Linux on it in Place of Windows 11  I had it set up for dual boot. Then got the bright ideo of wiping Windows and add a differnt OS so I can compare one against the other.  Now I cant get it back to Windows 11(or 10) . I have tried to use Start up Disk Creator and that did not work. I then attempted Voltroy and again it did not work. I downloaded my iso's off Microsoft.com I used brand new flashh drives and old ones Different USB ports.  You know pretty much everything I found.  With all those attempts I Keep getting the "A media Driver your Computer needs is missing"  What do I need to do to get rid of the error? There are no drivers available on HP's website that I can use.

Use the HP cloud recovery tool to make a bootable USB recovery drive that will return the drive to its 'out of the box' condition.

 

Here is an info link for how to use the software:
