HI, I INSTALLED SSD AND INSTALLED WINDOWS TO SSD FORMATTED HDD (NOT RECOVERY PARTITIONS)

NOW I CANT FIND HP RECOVERY MANAGER, HOW SHOULD I INSTALL IT AND USE RECOVERY PARTITION FOR INSTALLING DRIVERS?

If you installed Windows to an SSD from media you downloaded or created yourself, that would be a Retail version, not an HP OEM version, and that will NOT have the HP utilities.

The HP Recovery Manager will do you no good, as it expects to find the files it needs in the HP Recovery partition -- which you apparently no longer have.
