HP recovery manager

[Roman341]

so yeah another post related to the same laptop i have.
overall i would like to get recovery manager up but where i found onto the official hp webpage for the driver needed for my model, only had the update for recovery manager but not the program itself.
so unsure if is still possible to download it online or find it any way cause this laptop by default didnt came without any recovery dvd/cd

Unfortunately, the HP recovery manager software is only included with the original HP factory image and is not available for download.

HP quit selling recovery media for that model many years ago, so you wouldn't be able to find it unless perhaps on eBay.

A well it sucks 

Perhaps I'm on my own finding myself the recovery media/image then

If you can still read all of the characters on the Vista product key, you may be able to find a plain Italian version of Windows Vista on eBay.it.

It's a long shot but maybe you will get lucky.

Otherwise, you may want to consider installing Ubuntu on your notebook.

Download Ubuntu Desktop | Ubuntu

Create a bootable USB stick with Rufus on Windows | Ubuntu

That's free and it probably would work good on your notebook.

Overall i was lucky to find some sort of recovery or backups someone made onto the same edition of my dv2 it may work that if im lucky enought (but in reality didint) . and overall i tried ubuntu based distros on this dv2 and they worked awful overall imma keep windows vista to keep the legacy that has 
and does the recovery manager needs to correspond to my exact laptop model or i can find like some alternatives as getting the recovery manager from a DV2690? especially they are the same type of laptop but with very small differences
