Hello @rick967 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

There are 2 options for you:

 

- purchase original HP recovery media for your PC and use it. It costs around 30 USD

- create your own Windows 10 installation media and use it instead , in case you need to reinstall Windows

 

Here are generic instructions how to order recovery media -> https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/bph07143

If you provide me with your model, I may be able to provide you with specific instructions

 

The other options (creating your own Windows 10 installation media) is free -> you can find instructions here in this post -> https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-System-and-Recovery/EliteBook-very-slow-after-drive...

 

 

Let me know how it goes.
