Creating Recovery Media is something done before the partition is non-functional.
The "Upgrade" comes with the ability to "go back" to your previously installed OS. There is a time limit: If you wish to "go back", you must do so within 30 (or 31?) days from the date / time of the migration to Windows 10.
The "go back" is a Windows provided mechanism -- it appears that the method works (to restore the previous OS / full environment) most of the time. Should the "go back" method not work, you best be prepared to install the Operating System.
Now that you have your Windows 10 Digital License (also known as "Entitlement"), you can "go back" or reinstall Windows 10 at a later date. Your Windows 10 license "sticks", that is, Microsoft has record or your License so you can return-to / install Windows 10 on this same machine.

Windows 10 Upgrade and HP System Recovery
Your system provides Windows 10 Drivers -- this is a good indicator that the computer will run Windows 10 with fewer issues than if the system were not supported for the new OS.
If you decide to stay on Windows 10, consider using image / disk ghosting software to create "disk recovery" media.
Example:
There is an active Macrium Forum where you can read about how others view / use the product.

@K8MP wrote:I recently upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10. I'm assuming the Win 7 restore partition was untouched. Is that a concern?
Also, when I rebooted after the upgrade, accelerometerST.exe was "Not Found."
I googled for that and found the link to the Win 10 version but I was unable to download it.
Should I just ignore the missing .exe?

System:
Original Recovery Partition
In most instances, the Recovery Partition is destroyed by a migration to a newer Operating System. It "looks" OK -- and no longer functions.
Fix the accelerometerST error:
Driver Information: HP 3D DriveGuard Software
- Download HP 3D DriveGuide (driver): sp71839.exe
- Remove the existing driver
Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features >
scroll, find, Right-Click on HP 3D DriveGuide > Uninstall
- Close programs > Restart the notebook > log in
- Install the HP 3D DriveGuard driver
