      Alternatively, you can go to the HP Customer Support page and search for Cloud Recovery.

    2. Download and install the HP Cloud Recovery Tool. If you are prompted with a choice to run or save the file, click Run.

Step 3: Run the HP Cloud Recovery Tool

Use these steps to run the recovery software.

  1. Insert a blank USB drive (minimum 32 GB) into the computer, and then make sure the computer is connected to the Internet.

    NOTE: 

    Any data on the USB device is permanently deleted during this process. When the process is complete, the USB device contains only the recovery software.

  2. In Windows, search for Cloud Recovery, right-click HP Cloud Recovery Tool, and then select Run as administrator.

    If a Do you want to allow this app from an unknown publisher to make changes to your device? message displays, click Yes to continue.

  4. Proxy Configuration window:

    • If you are downloading the recovery software on a secure network, the tool automatically detects and populates the proxy information. Click Next.

      NOTE: 

      If the proxy information does not automatically populate, check with your network administrator for the proxy information, and then enter it in the appropriate fields.

    • To manually enter the system information, check the box next to I need to enter Product ID for my HP System, enter the information for the computer to be restored, and then click Next.

      NOTE: 

      If the Product ID has an ‘AV’ before the pound sign # and the three-digit number, do not include the #xxx (where ‘xxx’ represents a number). For example, a Product ID such as JGT75AV#123, you would not include #123. Doing so generates an error.

      The Product ID might be located on the back cover of the PC. Otherwise, go to How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? (Desktop) or How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? (Notebook) for more information.

  2. Disconnect all connected devices and cables such as Personal Media Drivers, USB drivers, printers, or faxes.

  3. Remove media from internal drives and remove any recently added internal hardware.

  5. Turn on the computer, and then immediately press the Esc key repeatedly, about once every second, until the Startup Menu opens.

  6. Press the F9 key to open Boot Device Options.

  7. Use the up or down arrow keys to select the USB drive, and then press Enter.

When recovery starts, continue with these steps to complete recovery.

     

    If you cannot select the recovery media drive from the Boot Menu, disable Secure Boot and enable Legacy Mode in the BIOS.

  8. When prompted to run Recovery Manager from the hard drive or from media, select Run program from media, and then click Next.

  9. Select a language, and then click OK.
