Reinstalling the software on DV4-1028us after Win8 Vista upgrade

If I upgrade a DV4-1028us my wife from Vista to Win 8, will I still be able to access the recovery partition to reinstall the software?

Hi jcmclean,

It depends on how you upgrade.  I'd take a glance at this document before the upgrade, which should answer other questions you may have as well.

Remember, more than likely HP does not go to the material support for W8 on any system purchased before October 1, 2011.  Most of the pilots of W7 works in W8, but not sure about Vista.

You can run the software from the upgrade wizard, which will scan your PC and report on what is currently installed on your PC is compatible with the W8.
