HP Probook 470 G2: Recovery 8.1 of Windows on a new drive

I have a HP Probook 470 G2. The original disk is fine, but I want to migrate to an SSD. I did a restore USB and replaced with a 120 GB SSD HD. It is much less than the size of the windows on the original disk partition so I don't see a problem with that.

Having exchanged the disks and booted from the USB, I chose "reset windows" and everything seems to go well until 74% when I'm "there was a problem of resetting your PC", with an option to restart.

I found a thread here where there are similar symptoms, but because I am using a new drive I don't think I can replace the drive in the middle of the recovery.

I saw some videos on YouTube that show a HP Recovery Manager in Windows itself (which I don't have) or in the screens according to press F11, and I don't understand that either.

I have to correct, then restart. Choice of troubleshooting, I get Refresh (does not work, because the disc is empty), refresh (arrives at 74% as I said) and advanced. Advanced led system, System Image recovery restore settings, Start Up repair, prompt command or UEFI firmware.

As I have said that there is no HP recovery in Windows itself, I used a Windows procedure, but he said the HP Recovery disc in the middle of the construction so I assumed that he had built himself ok. It's driving me crazy now, should not it lasts migrate to a better record, but I have not found a conclusive answer via Google or HP pages where my post here.

Any ideas? My position of strength, it's that I still have the HARD intact original disc so I did not burn bridges.

OK, so you pouvez use a recovery USB disk to install on a smaller disk. It's just that something was wrong with my recovery USB drive. I have a friend (with the same laptop) to create a recovery on his drive and it worked.
