Hi!

  Most of our notebook/laptop does not come with any recovery CD anymore. In fact, it is normally store in a special partition where during boot up, press F11/F12 can actually help to get back to recovery and reformat the HDD for C drive.

  Now i plan to replace my current HDD/SSD to a bigger size and i wonder how can i copy and restore that emergency partition into my new HDD/SDD? I am afraid if i don't copy that emergency/restore partition to new drive, in case of Windows crashed or anything unexpected happen, i cannot boot up and i may have to restore the whole laptop to original factory default settings.

Thanks!

Hello @Nkboy 

 

Thank you for posting in the HP Support Community.

 

You cannot transfer the recovery partition from one HDD to another that easily. It might be possible with software that clones your existing HDD to the new SSD - such software is called CloneZilla >> https://clonezilla.org/

However, it is considered an advanced tool

 

HP does not support or recommend the built-in recovery (HP Recovery) anymore. Please, check details regarding the official position and description here >> https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebooks-Knowledge-Base/Recovery-in-Windows-10/ta-p/7061284

 

Options for recovery are:

 

Personally, I recommend you use either Windows clean reinstallation or Windows system image

 

Hope this helps.
