Hi, just wondering if there is any way i can download or get a new factory restore disk for my pavilion dv6-6c35dx entertainment pc? I lost mine a while back and I'm past the 30 day change back time. windows 10 just makes this pc run like complete garbage and I would really like to just put it back to its factory windows 7.

Hi:
If you can still read all 25 characters of the W7 product key on your notebook's case, you can make your own W7 installation media as follows to reinstall W7...
Click on the Windows ISO Downloader.exe link to download the tool to create the W7 ISO file download.
Select the W7 COEM ISO file download version for the product key the OS is good for, which is the OEM operating system ISO file.
I have zipped up and attached the Microsoft utility below, that will allow you to either put the file on a USB flash drive or burn it to a DVD.
Then you can install the drivers and available software you need from your PC's support page.
If the Microsoft tool doesn't work to burn a DVD, use this free DVD burning software to burn the ISO file to a DVD.
Select the "Burn ISO file option."

Burn it at the slowest speed you can.
Or you can still order the HP recovery media from this non-HP vendor at the link below...
