Sorry, but I don't understand ...

Your model PC shows coming preinstalled with Win10, not Win8x, so the HP Recovery Media should have restored Win10.

Are you saying that you use the media for this specific PC, that you got from HP, and it installed Win8x?

If that is the case, then you need to contact HP Customer Support to arrange to swap what you have for the correct HP Recovery Media. We can't do that for you.

I'm gonna say it recovered in Windows 10 but most apps are in compatibility for vista, 7, and 8 and most programs say I have no admin rights to make changes when I only have the one account.
