I had upgraded to Windows 10 but the new later update to Windows 10 messed up my notebook and it would not start or boot at all. Used to recovery manager to restore factory setting to Windows 7 premium but that failed and now I apparently have no operating system. I need recovery disks to restore the original Windows 7 premium that came on my notebook. I cannot find how to order them here even though I have tried everything Please help! Thank you!

You can use either the:

Win 7 Home SP1 COEM (This version would be for what HP would have used--System Builder)
Then you can use this tool I zipped up and attached below, to transfer the file to a 4 GB USB flash drive or a DVD.
