I mean, I can not recover the Windows 7 Home Premium license.

And that is because you overwrote the hard drive with your new installation of Windows that you have on there now.

You should have asked here first before doing something rash, but you thought you were smart.

And in very likelihood, the Windows you have on there now if you activated using its key is one and done. Meaning you can't use this second Windows on another PC either.

Widows 7 I have now is another version (licensed), I wanted to use the original one. This is why I have called here.

Here is an alternative you can consider ...

If HP OEM Recovery Media for Win7 is no longer available, an alternative site for the Windows ISO file is here: https://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/67-microsoft-windows-iso-download-tool
Download the Windows ISO Downloader.exe file and run it.
When the window opens, select the Windows tab in the upper-right and then click the Windows 7 radio button.
Under Select edition, choose the Windows 7 SP1 OEM Home or Pro -- to match what you have.
That will download an ISO file of the same OEM edition that HP uses.
You can then use the free RUFUS tool to create a DVD or USB stick from that ISO file and then use that to install Win7 OEM.

That is not going to work for him.

There is a reason that the product key sticker says OA.

He needs HP recovery media. There is not maybe about it.

You are toast without HP recovery media.
