What Win version will the HP Media recovery use?

[agalli]

I bought my HP and came with win 8 I did all the updates and now it's running Win 10 I'm doing the hp media recovery for the first time.

I want to know if the media recovery will install windows 8 or windows 10

Hi:

The recovery media will restore W8.

After W8 installs, if you want to go back to W10, you can click on the blue Update Now button at the link below and reinstall W10.

If you are asked to enter a product key during the installation, select the 'I don't have a product key' option, and W10 will install and automatically activate once you are connected to the internet.
