First off, HP has never provided the ability to download an OS version, be it Vista or anything newer.

 

Second, what HP does provide NOW is the ability to create HP Recovery Media from a download, but that does not include older OS versions like Vista.

 

So the bottom line is you can no longer get that from HP.
