Product: G60 120us
Operating System: Microsoft Windows Vista (64-bit)

I had to replace my hard drive with a 1tb 2.5" sat 6gb/'s 7mm 128MB 5400rpm hard drive. I can't find a recovery disk anywhere for Vista 64 bit. I can still read the product key on my computer from the original OS. Is this useful in any way or should I just buy a windows 7 or 10 OS? Is the OS the only thing that is needed to get it running or do I then need to install drivers?

Hi:

 

If you can't buy W7 Home Premium 32/64 bit cheaply, then you can order a Vista recovery disk set from this non-HP vendor at the link below...Looks like this kit is for Vista 32 bit.

The product specs for your notebook below indicate that it originally came with Vista 32 bit.
