Hi @ADDDD1,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.

I understand you are bios, recovery USB for Pavilion M3 60 convertible laptop Sure, if you need to create a BIOS recovery USB drive for your HP Pavilion 11m-ap0000 x360 Convertible PC and reinstall Windows 11, here's a step-by-step guide:

 

Creating a BIOS Recovery USB Drive:

  • Visit the HP Customer Support website.
  • Enter the model number "11m-ap0000" or "Pavilion M3 60" in the search bar to find your specific model's support page.
  • Once on the support page, navigate to the "Drivers and Downloads" section.
  • Look for BIOS or Firmware updates. There should be an option to download the BIOS update file.
  • Download the BIOS update file suitable for your laptop.
  • Follow the instructions provided on the support page to create a BIOS recovery USB drive. Usually, this involves extracting the downloaded file and copying it onto a USB drive formatted with FAT32.
  • Make sure to follow the instructions carefully to avoid any issues during the BIOS recovery process.

Restoring Windows 11:

  • If your laptop came with Windows 11 preinstalled, there might be a recovery partition on the hard drive. You can access this by restarting your laptop and repeatedly pressing a specific key (often F11 or F9) during startup to enter the recovery environment.
  • Once in the recovery environment, follow the on-screen instructions to restore Windows 11 to its factory settings.
  • If you can't access the recovery partition or if it's not working properly, you might need to reinstall Windows 11 using an installation USB drive.
  • You can download the official Windows 11 installation media creation tool from the Microsoft website on another computer and use it to create a bootable USB drive.
  • Boot your Pavilion M3 60 convertible laptop from the USB drive and follow the prompts to reinstall Windows 11.
  • During the installation process, you'll have the option to format the hard drive and perform a clean install of Windows 11, which will erase all existing data and restore the operating system to its default state.
