I tried this before on my own without help. I ran into a system blue screen error which I decided to run the recovery usb i created with HP Cloud Recovery.
I already know how to:
Run the Microsoft Media Creation Tool for Windows 10 x64
What I don't know how to:
Install the drivers in the correct sequence. My laptop drivers are listed here https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-pavilion-15-cs3000-laptop-pc-series/29133460/mod...
For every single driver listed what is the proper order?
Is there drivers not listed I should want to install and where?
I know windows 10 on it's own installs a little bit quicker than the recover usb. I also will need the HP software components to handle CoolSense, HP Audio Switch, and B&O Audio (the correct one)
I also need to know how to partition the SSD for Intel Optane Memory. This is one thing I can't get my mind to absord without the proper quidance. If the SSD is not partitioned correctly Intel Optane Memory will not work.
I also would need to partition the SSD for recovery partition. What size and how will I put a recoevery image on it and hide it?
Thanks,
Simplio.

I can answer SOME of your questions.
Regarding driver install order, do any chipset drivers first and then reboot. Then do any networking drivers -- so the PC can connect to the Internet to get drivers from HP. And reboot. After that, the order is not important.
HP does not provide downloads for their utilities -- the proper way to get them is to reinstall Windows using HP Recovery Media -- which you said you already know about.
I don't know how to partition the drives for Optane stuff -- not familiar with that.
Also, you can NOT create your own HP Recovery partition -- it simply is not possible.
