Hello @TomCan

Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum.

No, recovery discs are not supplied with the computer (neither with new, nor with refurbished models). This applied for HP and any other PC vendor.

Nowadays computers which have original/legitimate OS preinstalled on them have recovery partition built-into the HDD. This partition is part of the storage drive and can be used to boot from it and reinstall Windows.

In case it is needed, you may be able to create recovery media with some models:

or you can purchase original recovery media.

Let me know if you require details or assistance with something.

Hi,

Wit Windows 10 you do not really need recovery disks as you can create Windows recovery disk or USB directly from the OS. You can also create a system image which you can use if needed. 

You can also create a bootable USB drive with Windows 10 on it by downloading the media creation tool, running and creating the Pendrive.

So, there is really no need to purchase recovery disks.

Hope it helps,
