MS window 10 offered creation USB recovery drive. I have on my notebook Recovery Drive and

Recovery Manager.

Should I created MS recovery drive after each major update of Windows 10 ?

Please explain the difference between MS recovery tool and HP recovery system.

The MS Recovery Tool is basically just creating a USB Drive with Microsoft Recovery Partition on it.  HP Recovery System creates a one time USB Drive (You can only create the USB Drive once from the HP Recovery Manager) with the factroy OS on it for restore if needed.  i recommand getting a 16GB or 32GB USB Drive and dedicate it for the HP Factory OS (Recovery System).  like i said above once you make it you can not make a second one so don't format the USB Drive that you created the image on.  Do not worry about the MS Recovery Tool as it only offers basic troubleshooting and is not really worth creating after every major update.
