HP does not supply these; you have to use the Cloud Recovery tool to create them yourself.

 

If your PC is a 2016 model or newer, you should see if you can make a bootable USB recovery drive using the HP cloud recovery tool on a working PC.


The recovery drive can then be used to install Windows and the HP drivers and utilities that originally came with your PC.


You will need a working PC and a 32GB USB stick to hold the recovery files. Here is the link:

You use the Microsoft Store to download the actual tool:

If you use a different PC to run the tool, you will have to provide your PC's product number. Here is an HP link for finding that information:
