Product: OMEN by HP 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop 16-n0000 (63B17AV)

Hi, I recently purchased a HP Omen Laptop (16-n0123ax) which came with preinstalled Windows 11. Did not like the icon style at all, tried changing but finally clean installed Windows 10 from usb after wiping out all partitions from Disk 0. But there's another one, Disk 1 (58 something GB) which I did not touch. Cleaning unstalling from USB I created on PC, wiped out all drivers and everything. 

 

Now I can download all drivers on PC from HP and install on laptop too, but the first thing I tried was resetting PC. However, resetting only reinstalled the same Windows 10 and did not restore Win 11 factory settings. Is there any way to restore back to Windows 11 factory settings from the hidden 50 gb partition?

Nevermind. I did factory reset using HP Recovery Tool from Microsoft Store. It's back again in stock version. 

Just one query: will all the HP apps work normally if I install Windows 10 normally? Even for upgrading bios, it asks for Windows version which is weird because this is not the case on PC.
