Sorry, but your goal of installing XP on that machine is not going to work -- for several reasons.

First, it came with Win 8.1 and HP does not supply XP drivers for a PC that new.  Also, HP does not provide download links for recovery media.  SO, there is no way to get drivers or an OS containing XP from HP.

Second, it's very unlikely that you will be able to find XP drivers for that PC from anyone, as the hardware on the newer  Win8.1 PCs is too new for there to be old XP drivers.   You can sometimes get older drivers to work in newer OS versions by using compatibility mode, but not the other way around.

Third, Microsoft has not provided downloads for XP for years, and while you might be able to buy it from online places like NewEgg, that's unlikely as well.
