Product: Pavilion P211-NT
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

Hi everyone,

I have Pavilion P211-NT and Windows 8.1 installed. I have working recovery partition right now.

I've created recovery backup on USB. Tested it by booting my notebook from this USB and confirmed it works.

I want to clean install Windows 10 and install Ubuntu 16.04 alongside Windows (dualboot). As far as I know if I delete Windows 8.1's partition or install another operating system, recovery partition will be damaged(even if I don't delete recovery partition).

What I wonder is, can I fix or recreate harmed recovery partition by using this USB?

Best regards

Yes you can reset everything to factory settings just like you got it new and it includes recovery partition too.

Then how can I to that?
As I understand, if reset my notebook using this recovery USB, everything will be as same as when I bought it, including recovery partition. So even if I delete my recovery partition, it will recreate by this recovery USB after I reset my notebook.

Did I understand you right? If I didn't get you, can you please explain?

Thank you

Yes you can get back recovery partition when you factory reset using HP Recovery USB that you created using HP Recovery Manager.
