Sorry, but the honest situation is that you are most likely, out of luck.

 

No one, including HP, has stocked Win 7 recovery media for years now -- not even the online alternative suppliers.

 

You would have to resort to reinstalling Win7 from scratch, but then, you would lose the HP drivers that are essential to the laptop working properly.
