The query is regarding HP Pavilion bf119tu laptop. I want to reinstall Windows 11 on my laptop after replacing HDD with SSD. From where I can get the Original OEM Windows 11 ISO that will automatically detect and activated with the OEM Key inbuilt in BIOS.
Is OEM Windows ISO different from Normal ISO that we can get from Microsoft Windows ISO download page?

Hi:
Your PC came with W10 Home Single Language.

If you plan on clean installing W11 on the new SSD, all you need to do is to use the W11 media creation tool from the link below (second option) and install W11. There is no W11 OEM installation media for your notebook.
Download Windows 11 (microsoft.com)
After you boot from the installation media and get to the installation screen, you will be asked to enter the version of W11 you want to install. Select W11 Single Language.
Then if you are asked to enter a product key, select the 'I don't have a product key' option and W11 will install and automatically activate after you are connected to the internet.
Your other option would be to use the HP cloud recovery tool to install W10 on your new SSD and then upgrade back to W11.
Here is an info link for how to use the cloud recovery tool. You will need a 32 GB USB flash drive for this.
