HP G72-259WM notebook pc
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Unable to boot Recovery Manager and it is also unavailable from HP support page. furthermore my Windows Product Key is worn out, it can't be read. 

Should I continue to try and find a recovery with an unlegible code OR should I just spring for a new copy of Win 7?

Hi:

 

If you can't read the W7 product key and if you can't get a copy of W7 with a key that is cheaper than buying a set of recovery disks from this vendor, then you may want to order from these guys...

 

HP recovery disks should not need a product key to work.

why would I pay for a software  to tell me my product key and then buy recovery disks when I can just go out and get windows 7 or 10?

I have no clue what you are referring to regarding paying for software to tell you what the product key is.

 

Where did I provide any info about paying for software to find the W7 product key???

 

You wanted a recovery disk set for your model notebook, and that is exactly what the link is for that I provided to you. 

 

The recovery disk set from the link I posted is probably cheaper than buying a full version of W7 that comes with a valid product key. 

 

The HP recovery disk set sold by Computer Surgeons is the perfect solution for situations where you can't read the product key because the software installs and activates WITHOUT the need of entering a product key.

 

If you can find a plain version of W7 with a genuine product key that is cheaper than the $31.00 cost for the recovery kit sold by Computer Surgeons, then by all means get it.

you just said "if you can find it cheaper then $31.00, let me know".
