Replace the Windows 8 of HPs recovery image with windows 8.1

Hello

Is after going through the upgrade process to windows 8.1 on my HP Envy X 2, now possible to replace the recovery image by default on my partition recovery with one for version 8.1?  I don't want to have to re - update if I do a "refresh your PC without affecting your files' or 'remove all and reinstall Windows.

Is it possible and supported by HP to change the recovery image in the recovery partition?

If so, is there any procedure for support to do?

Concerning

Anthony

Sorry, but no.... the Windows 8 by default on the HP Recovery partition recovery image is the only one available. It's the image of origin provided by HP and there is no procedure or the option to change or replace this image with a newer version.

Please see HP Forun thread titled "8.1 recovery disks" for more information on this topic. My suggestion is to use Windows "Backup of System Image" utility to create a picture of the partition Windows 8.1 as it is currently, on an external hard drive. If your computer develops questions or you need to replace the hard drive, all you have to do is to "restore" the image on the computer. Please see Windows 8.1 Tip: use System Image backup for instructions on creating and restoring a 'Windows - System Image backup.'

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • Mirage Pivot fails when you are using software that replaces the Windows Login (GINA) as Imprivata

    When you try to perform a migration recently at a client site the pivot process has not completed as planned because of Imprivata. Imprivata is a SINGLE sign that seems to replace the Windows GINA and provides a custom login screen.

    During an attempt of the Pivot process (Mirage 4.3) the start of Windows Update screen does not appear and the standard Windows login is displayed. When you manually login customer Mirage shows the USMT process is underway. This allows users to log in and is generally not the process but it does not complete the USMT process and join the domain.

    This is due to the customer Imprivata, although we suspect that would happen with any product which replaces GINA of Windows.

    Workaround solution:

    We are uninstalling the client of the base image Imprivata and try to apply this to be an application layer or display the migration script.

    Has anyone else had this problem with a SINGLE sign or a custom GINA solution?

    Peter

    We have removed Imprivata and the process worked ok. We are now reinstall using the post migration script that works

    If the Recovery Manager is very convenient for some maintenance tasks, should not be required. You can still download the drivers for your HP support page if necessary. The F11 to perform a recovery should still work because the files are there in the D partition.

    However, if you burn your recovery disks before removing the Recovery Manager, it would be a good idea to order them from HP. Bribery of HDD or a failure requiring replacement you will need to start the machine to reinstall Windows.

  • Why the firefox profile is messed up and does not restore the tabs when you replace the Windows shell with something like bbLean

    I use Windows 8.1 x 64 but I can replace the Explorer bblean shell and when I do that firefox has issues with the profile such that cancel last closed tab or not to restore the tabs at startup.
    I was able to use the replacement of shell of bblean for years in previous versions of Windows, but he always had a weird behavior with firefox. Of course, I am currently in contact with bbLean developers working on the problem, but I would also like to hear what may be the cause of this.
    Thank you in advance.

    @guigs2
    Thanks for responding but I solved it somehow.
    'Replace the shell' means that I have deliberately change value in HKCU NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell so it does not point explorer.exe but blackbox.exe.
    After the reset of my installation of windows and get rid of all programs, including firefox now I use firefox portable (not installation of vanilla from the original site) and found, I have no problem with profiles so far.

  • Satellite L655-1GN - failed to install the new drive HARD original recovery image

    Hello

    Just had to buy a new hard drive and put the latter with the former. I already checked that he was the same size and SATA as the original hard drive. When I tried to start a new installation of the operating system from the recovery disk (that I bought the Toshiba provider in my country - MAFIL), the boot option was not available.

    MAFIL representative told me that the recovery disks only for the reinstalliation of the OS on the original drive, but are not suitable to install a fresh copy again. So, how can I install my Win7 64-bit, with all settings on the new drive and Toshiba apps?

    Thank you
    Tomer

    On many models of laptops different change HARD drive or upgrade can be done by the owner of the laptop and after doing this, you can install recovery image using the disc of recovery without any problem.

    I did several times on different models of Toshiba laptops. This works.
    I really don't understand how someone can give you this information.

    By default the BIOS settings, restart your machine and press F12 at startup. When the boot menu appears on the screen put the recovery disk ODD news, select CD/DVD as a boot device and press ENTER.
    What happens when you do this?

    The E430, as most of the models I know have a whitelist that dictates what you have LAN/WAN cards, you are able to install into the machine. In looking at the options that were available for your machine, I was able to locate the following:
