Hi , I have bought HP Elitebook x360 which comes with Windows 10 pro pre-installed version 1607 , then I have made USB Image recovery from HP Recovery manager ( which I'm allowed to make once ) , then I made the windows 10 creator update to version 1703 , and now I check HP recovery manager program and I see that function to use the HP Recovery Image USB that I have created before making this update is disabled due to updating my OS , So my question is How can I install the HP recovery image to restore my laptop like factory state in the future if it got errors !
Thank you ~

Thank you for reaching out to HP!
Here is a link that will direct you to a guided recovery tool:http://hp.dezide.com/ts/start.jsp?guide=HPSystemRecovery.net&as=true&SFS=sdoc§ion=ccweb.
If you are comfortable, here is a link to create your own windows 8 image: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows8.

If you have upgraded the Operating System, then the recovery manager or F11 recovery may not work properly. The only option now would be using the USB Recovery disk for installation to restore the PC to factory defaults settings.
You may insert the disk and use F9 Key to start the pre-boot menu and select the USB Disk Drive to boot and Continue with the installation. It will restore the PC to factory defaults, however not sure, if F11 recovery would work again.
Also, make sure you do the data backup before performing recovery.
Thank you!
