SOLUTION FOUND:
I put here a summary of the situation for other users
all there solution are correct to have the OS on the new hd ssd
1)effect: OS + partition Hp_tools (recovery partition)
with : Acronis True Image - program
i cloned the OS with (clone 1:1). this program is a copy of both the OS partition (E) Hp_tools.
Everything perfect and work.
Once installed on the pc ssd, I used f11 during a restart (to restore the system to factory settings).
with this system: I have a pc like new, with all programs Hp.
in the future, If I will plan to restore it to factory settings just use F11!
2) effect: only OS
with: original DVD with windows 7 professional
On the HD ssd empty I installed the windows 7 DVD (i used the code printed on the label underneath the PC).
it works perfectly.
however: There isn't recovery partition hp (switch f11 during the reboot) and preloaded hp program. (is possible download some of this program on the web site of hp)
if in the future I will bring the pc like new, I will use the windows DVD or a recovery DVD\CD image made with windows or another program.
likely effect:
I have not tried this way because,at this time, i haven't the DVDs with me .
