Hi, I have HP EliteBook x360 1040 G8. It came with preinstalled Windows 10 Pro. I startet a procedure dor upgrading to windows 11 pro but something went wrong with the update and I proceed to clean install. Now the system is working fine but I've lost the original background. I liked this background a lot. If anyone have it please send it to me.

Thanks!

Hello Gadabun,

 

Thank you for your query,

 

It's great to hear that your system is now working fine after a clean install of Windows 11 Pro. Unfortunately, I cannot send files directly, including specific backgrounds, but I can guide you on how to potentially recover the original HP background:

Recovering the Original HP Background

  1. HP Support Website:

    • Check the HP Support website for your specific model. Sometimes, they offer downloadable content that includes backgrounds, wallpapers, and themes associated with your model.
  2. HP Recovery Software:

    • If your laptop came with HP recovery options, you might be able to restore some factory settings or original applications, which could include the background wallpaper.
  3. HP Community Forums:

    • Visit the HP Community Forums to ask fellow users if they can share the default wallpaper. Someone who has the same model might be able to assist.
  4. Contact HP Support:

    • Reach out to HP Support for assistance. They may be able to provide or direct you to where you can download the original wallpaper for your device.
  5. Online Search:

    • Sometimes, searching through image archives or dedicated wallpaper collections online using specific keywords like "HP EliteBook x360 wallpaper" might help you find or approximate the wallpaper.

If these methods don't yield the original wallpaper, you may consider customizing your desktop with new wallpapers available freely online or explore wallpaper apps in the Microsoft Store for high-quality options.
