Accidentally Uninstalled HP 3D DriveGuard

[Gonder]

Hi everyone.

I'm writing up this post because of a silly mistake I made: I accidentally uninstalled HP 3D DriveGuard. I got my new OMEN laptop only a couple of days ago now, and one of the first things I did was try to act smart and delete unwanted bloatware that came with the laptop. 

I whipped up the program uninstallation window in Control Panel, and started to uninstall programs that didn't seem to be of much use to me. All was going well until I reached HP's line of software, which is when I got lazy and deleted HP 3D DriveGuard without researching into its functionality first.

As soon as I did this, I had a bad feeling that I had just deleted something important, so I went off and did my research, discovering that I had, indeed, deleted something that I would have rathered to keep. After this, I decided that I would avoid uninstalling any other HP software programs.

Anywho, that story was more than long enough. If somebody could please send me to the latest version of HP 3D DriveGuard for my laptop model and OS then that would be a great help; I've searched endlessly for a download link and haven't been able to find anything legitimate or up to date, so, here I am.

Thanks so much for any help in advance!

That appears to have solved the issue of my missing HP 3D DriveGuard! Thank you so much, you have been a great help.

Before I close it here, I thought that it would be best to ask you a question, in case anybody with a similar problem happens to stumble over this in the future. If this were to happen to somebody else, is there somewhere that they could go to find software such as this? Where did you get the link that you posted from? Just being thoughtful, and no worries if you can't answer!
