ENVY 15 model 15-3040NR
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I need window 7 recovery disk for an HP ENVY 15 model 15-3040NR, can someone point me in the right direction?

 

I have an old laptop that I use to control some old equipment that is not compatible with new OS, that just started giving me issues booting up.  I have run every hardware diagnostic, no errors found.  The Startup Repair gets an error and exits.  All the system restore pionts fail.  There are no Sytem Images available to recover.

 

How can I get a windows 7 recovery disk for this system?  THANKS!!

You're very welcome.

 

You can make your own installation media...you should have asked.

 

Download the W7 Home premium 64 bit ISO file from the link below, toward the bottom of the page.

Use the Microsoft tool that I zipped up and attached below that you will need to transfer the ISO file to a DVD or usb flash drive so that it is bootable.

Hi:

 

HP no longer sells recovery media for that model series, so the only suggestion I can offer would be to buy the W7 recovery kit from this vendor at the link below...
