Created Recovery Disk using SD card using HP program.
Now I am learning the Stream 11 can't boot from SD card.
What media should I use?
Why doesn't the HP program for creating the "recovery drive" provide a warning of this issue?

Hi I See Your Problem Here You Need To Put The SD Card In A USB Card Reader To Turn Into A USB Flash Drive
However You Can Also Try This
Restart The PC Go Into The BIOS And Turn On Legacy Boot If Applicable
And Change Legacy Boot Order Making The USB Key In First Place Then Try To Boot To It
If Does Not Start Up Then Go In To Boot Device Options Find It And Boot To It
Good Luck!

I used a 8 GB USB thumb drive for the recovery media for my Stream 11 and it worked well. I deleted all partitions from the eMMC drive and then recovered from the USB and the computer was restored back to out-of-the-box factory configuration.
Some computers actually can boot from the SD slot so I guess the Recovery software does not know whether the Stream 11 can or not so it allows creating the media on the SD card.

Thanks for the idea of using USB device to "convert the SD card.
I really don't know whay HP made creating recovery media so difficult other than they hope/expect to seel more copies of the media at $45 each to users that can't figure out how to create the recovery media themselves.
I do note that there is no simple command to "Create Recovery media" on the Stream 11 in the "PC settings link.
I just stumbled on the command when I created the SD card. Now I can't find the link again.
