Product: HP Pavilion x360 m1-u001dx (ENERGY STAR)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I got my windows recovery from microsoft onto my usb. It gets to the Recovery Manager; Recovery preparation is complete and a message pops up with "Caution: DO NOT attach any external device to the computer". Does this include removing the recovery usb?

Your other option would be to clean install W10 by making a bootable USB installation flash drive with the media creation tool.

 

Download Windows 10 (microsoft.com)

 

After W10 has completed installing, you can install the drivers and available software from your notebook's support page.

Hi:

 

Yes, I believe when you get to that stage, you can remove the USB flash drive as the PC has gotten all of the files it needed from it.
