Operating System: Microsoft Windows Vista

I did create the 3 restore disks when I purchased this, but I can only locate disks 2 and 3. I am trying to locate these restore disks so I can restore this Laptop to Factory, They must be out there somewhere, even if I had to purchase them.

 

Thanks,

Vista?

wow!

 

HP does not have recovery discs for purchase. I can guarantee that.

 

I suggest installing either Windows 10 or Linux.

Hi, @Network67 

 

You can still order a set of Vista recovery disks from this vendor at the link below...

 

According to the link, there are only two disks in the set.
