Product: hp spectre x2 detachable
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My recovery drive on HP Spectre is lost and I only have C drive and no recovery drive, after clean installing Windows 10 and now the F11 system recovery doesn't work. How to setup the function again and have the recovery drive on my laptop.

Now it is a fresh installed Wondows 10 machine, no option to use F11 anymore. To be able to use F11 you have to order Recovery set from HP to reset your machine back to Factory settings.

 

But, you can choose to setup using Windows 10 and next time you can restore your way

Some free and commercial software can also do the job using different ways.

 

I normally clone each system every 3 months and anything goes wrong with that machine, I simply swap its HDD.  I ONLY do that for few machines (I call them as my "production" machines) and don't bother to clone others.

 

Regards.
