HP Touchsmart 23-d055: do I need a new recovery disk after upgrade to Windows 10?

I upgraded my 2 years, HP Touchsmart in Windows 8 for Windows 8.1 for Windows 10. It took me 6 hours to run all of these updates.

Now, HP Support Assistant keeps reminding me to create an image of system recovery. But when I run the recovery media creation utility, it warns me that he goes back to the original operating system (Win8). Is it possible to create a recovery image system for my machine on Windows 10?

I know that Windows 10 now has an automatic recovery partition. But I am concerned by the failure of the disk, which would make this unnecessary partition. Last year, when I've upgraded to win 8.1, I had an alteration of the disc that has occurred without known reason. I lost everything on the PC and to restore Win 8, and I've never touched the PC up to 10 Windows free update is out.

I created a USB Win8 recovery disk when I got the machine. This is my only alternative? I suppose that if I ran the recovery media creation utility, it would recreate just the same.

BTW, I know that HP has here a document, but it does on computers provided with Windows installed 10.

Thank you for your help and experience.

Since no one has replied with an answer to my question, I've finally worked it on my own. I learned that you cannot make a new recovery disk system after the upgrade to Windows 10, if you had already created one when you got your machine under Windows 8.x

Context: after upgrade to Windows 10, the HP Support Assistant kept prompting me to create a system recovery disk.  I did one when I got the machine 2 years with Win8.  I didn't replace my original recovery disk, so I went out and got a new 16GB USB flash drive. When I inserted this new drive and attempted to create a recovery disk, the PC told me I couldn't do one, because you are allowed to make a recovery disc by PC.

So it was kind of stupid that after completing the upgrade of Windows 10, HP Support Assistant tells people to do. It should just check itself and see if a disc has already been done. All this anguish for nothing!

  • Computer needs a new recovery disk, but none is available.

    Our computer (desktop Compaq Presario SR2010NX PC) was recently taken to Best Buy to get fixed because the computer does not illuminate. They told us that he had to use the recovery for Windows Xp home edition disk to repair the computer. We have not and we cannot find them online. However, I have a new copy of Windows 7 and a recovery for Windows XP to another computer disc. I was wondering if I'm unable to find a recovery for this specific pc disk could I just use the Windows 7 disc or a disc of recovery for another computer.

    According to specifications, your computer will only support Windows 7 32-bit and most likely will not support Windows 7 64-bit at all. To fully support Windows 7 32-bit will require some hardware upgrades. Using another computer recovery discs is also in contrast to work. Recovery discs again to check the motherboard of the computer and hard drive to match the information before proceeding with the recovery of the computer.

    You can buy recovery discs for your computer from ComputerSurgeons.com for about $27

  • How can need to order recovery disks, I know if I need to 32 or 64 bits without BONES?

    I'm trying to fix someones laptop.  It's a g60 and they have no recovery disks.  The hard drive broke down so I can't use windows to find out if I need a 32-bit or 64-bit version.  HP Web site cannot determine this by model number, series or whatever it is and wonder which version I need when I try to order recovery disks.  He told me I should use windows to understand this.  (Why do I need to order recovery disks, if windows still worked?)  Anyway. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    If you need a recovery disk, then you need to ask your ASP in your country for this disc.

    In very rare cases, you will not be able to order a recovery disc, if the laptop series is too old. In this case that you will need to install the Windows operating system using the disk from Microsoft and then you can download and reinstall the driver from Toshiba which you might find on the page of Toshiba Europe.

    I'm currently running Vista 64 bit and you want to upgrade to Windows 7.
    I'm looking to upgrade and full version options.
    I'm looking to do a clean install.
    My question is, if I buy a version upgrade of Windows 7 need me a Vista installation disc to allow it?
    My PC came pre loaded with Vista, so I don't have an installation disc.
    Thank you

    A copy of the full license of Windows 7 would be transferable to a computer without an operating system until it has been completely removed from the first.

    I highly recommend that you buy a copy of the full license since you think you might buy a personal computer.

    The upgrade copy would not be transferable to a new computer unless the new computer already had a copy of installed Windows on what qualifies for an upgrade to Windows 7.

  • I need a new boot disk

    What I want is a boot disk, I need to reinstall windows, I have the key to product on the side of my computer. I tried to call for help, but I am sent to dell (I don't know why because the computer was delivered to Cyber Power and I do not have the recovery disc that came with her computer because my friend lost). It's my friends computer, but it is in the marines about to be sent to Afghanistan, and he hang on to it for my own personal use until he gets back. It has been formatted, and I thought the disc was in the box, but there is no disc. I just need a new disk of vista, and I don't want to call microsoft for a second question 2 and pay an arm and a leg of a sudden phone. I have genuine Windows Vista Home Premium and you want to reinstall. So simple, and yet so much to ask for from microsoft.

    How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    But, as your friend received a disc, you will not have a recovery Partition

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • Do you need to uninstall MSE before the upgrade to Windows 7?

    I am upgrading to Windows 7 Home Premium from XP, uninstall MSE for the upgrade?

    There is no place in upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7, so disabling or uninstalling, so be it, you will need to do a custom installation.

    The upgrade to Windows XP?

    Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

    Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

     

    More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

    1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

    2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

    3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

    4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

    5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

    If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.

  • Satellite Pro A120: Need to update the BIOS after upgrade CPU

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 and I need to update the bios of a change in cpu cause.
    The laptop works very well, but for some reason any with the new processor fan runs always full.

    A lot, I searched but found nothing.
    The model number is PSAC1E-0QL04CG3 of ideas where I can find the bios?

    THX in advance,
    John

    Hello

    First of all: update BIOS doesn t help you.
    Why do you think that BIOS update should help reduce the activity of fan?

    I guess that your new processor is faster. Right?
    So it offers more performance and this leads to higher heat dissipation... so finally the CPU must be cooled and this can be done only if the cooling module would turn faster you agree with me?

    By the way: the update of the BIOS is on the page of the Toshiba UE driver. Since the satellite Pro A120 is very old series, you will need to search for drivers in area Archive (Type of product-> Archive)
