I n e e d h e l p

I recently started thinking on restoring OEM apps and recovery C drive.

Because I formatted it thinking I could get it on the internet.

 

I feel like buying the recovery cds, but do they REALLY have them in stock? There's no way they

just hold thousands upon thousands of cds.

If someone can help me get this to it's OEM condition it would be nice.

There's one place I know of where you can purchase recovery media for your PC:

 

There are two kits for sale, but I don't know which one you need or if either one would be fine.

yes but are they a legit partner with HP, someone I can trust?

That's the only place you can buy them from,  and they have been in business for many years--certainly more than I've been a member of this forum, and that would be 14 years.

Alright, thank you for confirming then 👍
