This person spams this message board with this behavior.

 

FYI, the OP has already deleted the recovery partition.

No FreeDOS machines don't have Recovery partition. Please try the following way to reset:

You need to read the OP's other posts.

hey you. I dont span any forum. I just have different questions. the other questions was for something else. Not I have aNEW clean question for the HP recovery manager. I use windows 10. It is really sad that instead of helping you try to play the role of the forumpolice or something like that. If you know the answer and also the other questions of mine then you should  help.

At the very end I have 3 questions and posted them in 3 different  posts? What is wrong with that?

do something with your life instead reading the forum to find reasons to argue

@banhien  much appreciated your answer. I do have now win 10. which I installed after buying my laptop. My question is if I use the recovery manager the laptop will turn into the original factory shipped state which was free dos  (and I have to re install clean the Win 10) or if the win 10 will be reinstalled after formating the disk. This is what I can not understand.

Your three posts is about the same laptop with the same issue.

Keep all the information in the same one thread so that people have all the information. You are wasting people's time when you give people information in drips and drabs. Horrible way to go about getting information.

 

As it is, your laptop's recovery partition is gone.

That was answered in one of your three questions.

No matter how many questions you ask and how many ways you ask it, that recovery partition won't come back.

You took action without asking here first!

You now have Windows 10 which you claim you have but which in another post, you claim you did not install correctly.

Hmmmmm.
