how does recovery partition work after installion of new windows?

[MissKhan1]

Sir. with old windows my softwares like Adobe after effects, Illustrator, autodesk Maya were working fine and smooth, as i have HP- OMEN with NVIDIA card and it's a good gaming laptop. i was in  a training so i added and removed many softwares and my space was getting lower. i had only 25 GB left in C which was not enough for running my softwares so i made a mistake to reinatall windows. Now. i downloaded it from HP site ( if i could find the link i'll post) and i'm calling it terrible because my softwares are not working smoothly, they get crashed and take ages to open and close. you know how frustrating it gets for a designer who is waiting for render out and their system gets hanged.  i'm having issues like my laptop gets hanged it doesn't even open task maganer when i long press ALT+CTRL+DEL i have to then restart it by power button. and many other issue too can't list all of them 😞

Hi

You tried

(Get-WmiObject -query 'select * from SoftwareLicensingService').OA3xOriginalProductKey

Mine is

(Get-WmiObject -query ‘select * from SoftwareLicensingService’).OA3xOriginalProductKey

so that should have worked.  I also use Belarc Advisor to print out the config and licences of installed software.

You should still concentrate on creating your own recovery media.

Consider Ccleaner, Defraggler both from pirisoft to try and straighten out your existing partition.

HP does not offer Windows to be downloaded.

In terms of your comments ...

25GB is more than enough to "run software" -- I have several PCs that have less free space than that, and they run all their apps without issues.  So, I have no idea what you're using that needs MORE than 25GB of free space just to run!

Reinstalling Win10 will, only temporarily, free up space if you reinstall it.  But almost immediately, it will start using up space because it will start downloading and installing Windows Updates.  And the space those take is NOT freed up when the Updates are done.

However, here are some things you can do to recover some of the "disk" space:

Also, the community Win10 Forums has the following suggestions:

And, as already mentioned, HP does NOT provide downloads of Windows. So, I have no idea where you got Windows.

One reason it COULD be taking a long time to open apps after a recent Windows reinstall is that Windows Update will then be running, and that takes up a LOT of processing and disk power while running, and that will continue until it is done.  That could easily take several hours to complete.  So, forcing a Win10 reinstall only made the performance matter worse, not better.

You are right sir about 25 Gb space. i was un aware of that that's why i'm calling it a stupid mistake of reinstalling windows. & now i'm also worried about where did i get  that windows a from as i can't find that link too from where i downloaded it. i always save links. May be it was some media creation thing. God i don't remmeber i think. 

Plus. No it's not slower because of the updates, it happen to crash and hang often i use Adobe Illustrator.  

Anyhow. My main concern is to get to factory reset point so that i can undo whatever wrong windows installtion i've done.

Hi

Therefore this may be relevant...

•  Using the HP Cloud Recovery Tool (Windows 10, 7)
•  Computer Is Slow Troubleshooting
•  Creating and Using a Microsoft Recovery USB Drive (Windows 10)

This is an update to something that should already be installed...

HP Recovery Manager Update

18.10 Rev.A 1.3 MB Jul 17, 2017 Download

Perhaps you sould take a moment to re-arrange your thoughts, and then form an action plan?

You know that there is plenty of support here, when/if needed.

To do a factory reset, if F11 does not do that for you by launching the HP Recovery Manager, then you need HP Recovery Media -- and the HP product page link you included in your post as a link at the bottom of the page you can  use to order that.

Also, my guess, since you mentioned it, was that you used a link from Microsoft to download and create the media. That can be used to reinstall Win10 on your PC, but you would then need to use the HP product page link in your thread to download the HP drivers and install them.  The PLUS of doing it that way is that you don't have to pay $40 USD (or so) for the media and you don't have to wait for it to be shipped to you; the MINUS of doing it that way, is that you have to download and install the HP drivers yourself.
