I can't use it as a tool. Please help me by the way or send me the another correct link to download and use it. I download the tool but did not take to response. I hope you help me better as soon as possible.

Hi @Vishal1210,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.
I hear that you can't run the HP Cloud Recovery tool through the Microsoft link:
May I know which link you were using for Cloud Recovery?
Cloud Recovery link: HP Consumer PCs - Using the HP Cloud Recovery Tool in Windows | HP® Support
Or you can use the Media Creation Tool: Create installation media for Windows | Microsoft Support
I hope this will help.
Take care and have a good day.
I'm an HP Employee.
