The recovery partition can only be created by HP recovery media. We can help you install Windows 10 clean. All you need to do is go to the Microsoft Media Creation Tool site and make an installation thumb drive, boot from it and follow the prompts. But you will not have an F11 type recovery partition. Windows 10 does have several very good backup and recovery options that actually work better as they allow you to create an up to date system image so you can always get right back to your current installation in the event of a disaster. 

 

Post back with any more questions. I have been less than specific because I wanted to be sure we are on the same page before getting started. Very willing to walk you through in detail if you wish.

First of all i thank you for your reply,

Okay I'm in, walk me through the clean installation of Windows 10 with full formatting of hard disk.

And if you could teach me how to make f11 type recovery partition using recovery media that will be useful for me .

Thank you.

No teaching to make the F11 recovery partition. If you have a working HP recovery disk for your model it goes back to factory condition including the F11 partition. If we use Microsoft Windows 10 media you will not have an F11 recovery option. Are we on the same page here before we start?

Okay guide me through the process of Windows 10 Installation.


Is f11 recovery option not available in Windows 10 or it can only be created by HP itself when manufactured .
