Product: HP Notebook - 15-af157na (ENERGY STAR)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
I created a Recovery USB Flash Drive but when I try to use it the normal boot process runs instead of BIOS Recovery.
I held down Windows +b (and tried windows + v ) pressed the power button which I released after 5 seconds and kept windows + b pressed but no go. I note in the instructions that this could indicate an hard disk problem. I have replaced the hard disk in the past and it does not have any recovery partitions.
Is there another tool I can use to make a self booting Recovery USB Flash Drive?
Is there any way to restore the recovery partition (if what I need is in there)?
