Hello. My HP laptop 15-n096st came with windows 8 and with some oem softwares. I was able to use OEM softwares after every recovery via recovery part but now I deleted recovery part and using Windows 10. Is there any way that I could use oem products in Windows 10? My PC has windows keys in its bios, can I have the oem keys in the same way?

You should tick to keep all user files/programs and Windows will keep all for you, a bit too late now.

I remember I was using "Norton" and "Power DVD". But shouldn't have I had all the list since they come with the PC?

These third-party apps are special OEM-only versions that come only preloaded on the HP PCs. If you reformat a drive or reinstall Windows, you will lose these and NOT be able get them back -- as the HP Recovery Media does not include these third-party add-ons. Plus, the product keys associated with these are also only preloaded on the PCs; these keys are not provided separately and if you contact the app suppliers, they will not have them because these are special OEM-only versions of the apps.
