[OMEN15-DC1011nv]

I recently changed an NVMe drive on the laptop and did a clean install of windows 11 but I want the installed windows software that the factory drive had with the additional partition with the recovery and all the pre-installed programs. OMEN 15-dc1011nv. thanks

You can use the HP cloud recovery tool to create a bootable USB recovery drive that will reinstall Windows, the drivers and the software that originally came with your PC.

Here is an info link for how to use the utility.  You will need a 32 GB USB flash drive to create the recovery media with.

You can download the software from the Microsoft Store.

If you have to use the utility on another PC, you will need to enter your notebook's product number in the tool's search window in order to proceed to make the recovery media. 

Your PC's product number is:  7DM94EA#AB7

I wanted to ask one more question. in the recovery it creates, it only shows pre-installation for windows 10, is there a chance I can have a recovery for windows 11, thank you

You're very welcome. 

If that's the only option it shows, then W10 is what you will end up with. 

You can take the free upgrade back to W11 again.
