With an upgrade, you'd have to first reinstall Vista, using the recovery media, then you'd have to apply the upgrade.
A better solution is to buy a program like Acronis TrueImage and use it to make a restorable image backup of your hard drive with Windows 7.

Try tapping away at the F11 key immediately after powering on the laptop to get into HP Recovery Manager which can be used to do a System Recovery back to Factory settings.

How to create recovery disk for windows 8.1 after update from windows 8.

My laptop came with windows 8 and i have recovery discs for windows 8.
Now i've updated to windows 8.1, so i want to creat recovery discs for windows 8.1.
So in future when i use recovery discs i dont have to download windows 8.1 again.
Please tell me if there is any way to do this.....

As colakid posted, in Windows 8 the ability to create a recovery CD/DVD has gone. Your options are to:
create a recovery USB; or
create a recovery image.
Recovery USB
Colakid's post talks you through how to make a recovery USB: from control panel, choose Recovery, then Create a Recovery Drive, and follow the prompts.
However, the 'recovery USB' can be a bit misleading. When the wizard starts, there is an option to 'copy the recovery partition from the PC to the recovery drive'. If you do not check this option, you will still need installation media to reset your PC.
Since you have upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, you will probably not be able to check this option, as it will be greyed out (like it is in the picture in Colakid's post).
If you go ahead and create the USB anyway, you will be able to boot to it, but you won't be able to reinstall Windows unless you have the installation media (or possibly a system image, though I haven't tried that).
Recovery image
The recovery image is an image of your computer that Windows will use when you select the 'refresh my pc' option. You can create a recovery image using the recimg.exe tool.
First, open an elevated command prompt (type cmd and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter).
Next, create the recovery image by typing:
recimg /createimage [path]
Where [path] is the folder you want the image in, eg C:\Recovery. You cannot set the file name - it will always be called CustomRefresh.wim.
Let it run its course. When it's done, you can check that it is the current recovery image by typing
recimg /showcurrent
It's important to keep in mind what a recovery image contains. It will have your Windows system files (in their current state), and the desktop apps you have installed (so it makes sense to do this after a fresh install of Windows). It will
not backup any Metro apps or user files, because these are not deleted during a system refresh. If you want a complete backup of everything on your computer the way it is now, you should make take a complete system image (which
can be done from the File History settings in control panel - at the bottom left there will be a 'System Backup Image' option - or you can do it using any other backup software like Ghost or Acronis).
In my case, I created the recover image straight after upgrading to Windows and it was about 6 GB.
Prepare/Create and register an recovery partition, so the option Copy the Recovery Partition becomes available in the recovery drive UI application.
In elevated command run> RECIMG -CREATEIMAGE C:\REFRESHIMAGE<
This will create a new custom.wim in a folder Refreshimage.
Now lets get ready to register the path of the image, so our create recovery drive option(COPY THE RECOVERY PARTITION FROM THE PC TO THE RECOVERY DRIVE) becomes available.
> In the folder you created there will be a> custom.wim<
change it to>INSTALL.wim<
> Create a folder In Cd/directory using Elevated command> mkdir c:\Win8.1-Recovery,>
Win81-Recovery<.
> Copy the INSTALL.WIM. Put in the Win81-recovery folder created.
> Run in elevated commad>REAGENTC /SetOSImage /Path C:\Win81-Recovery\INSTALL.WIM /Index 1<
Do not copy the arrows if using copy and paste, that is my way of pointing out lines of code
Information provided by the link below, thanks Keith. I simplified the process for easy following and added my own tweak from trial and error for the install.

System Recovery disk for Windows 8.1

Hi, I have upgraded my pc from Windows 7 to Windows 8. Every thing went ok. Now I have upgraded it to Windows 8.1. So far every thing went fine. However, can some one tell me how I can create a System Recovery Disk at this stage? I have managed to create
a Recovery Drive USB stick.

Hi,
According to your description, I suggest you use system image backup to create a System Image.
You may refer to the following steps:
1.Press Win+Q, search File history. Then click it in the display list.
2.In the File History control panel that appears, look in the lower left corner. The option you're looking for is System Image Backup. Click that, and the familiar Create a System Image wizard appears.
Hope this helps.

Product Name: HP Pavilion g6-2006tx Notebook PC... Require a recovery disk for Windows 7 Home Basic

Sir,
The recovery disk that was prepared for my Laptop has been corrupted and is not functioning. The laptop shows an error message as 'BOOTMGR.EXE is missing'. Whenever I use the disk, it starts off well but it stops after 13% of the installation is done. There is no recovery partition in my laptop as it was deleted after the recovery disk was burned.
All this started when I wished to format my Laptop and reinstall the operating system.
I donot wish to install any operating system other than my original supported WINDOWS 7 HOME BASIC. So, if you could send me a recovery disk of the same, it will be very helpful. Any other details required shall be provided.
Your hasty attitude in this matter would be highly appreciated.
Regards

This is where you look to see if there is the option to order recovery disc's for your laptop.

NOTE: If you cannot find an "Order Recovery Media" section, select another operating system from the drop down list until you find a "Order Recovery Media" section or you determine that a Recovery Media section does not exist in any of the operating system selections. If you cannot find a Recovery Media section for your computer model, HP does not have a recovery kit available.
Sorry.

T500 Recovery disk for Windows 7 64 bit

I have received Recovery diskWindow 7,64 bit and they do not appear to be valid.
Does anyone have the same recovery disk? If yes, do you have three files in theWindows 7 statup menu after installing the recovery disks?

Hi,
please apologize, but I'm a bit lost.
In you first post you noticed following: "I have received Recovery diskWindow 7,64 bit and they do not appear to be valid."
I thought, that you have some issue with the maing Disks?
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Please note, that the Recovery CD/DVDs are made for multiple systems with multiple configuration. The correct installation of the correct drivers is accomplished due to multiple scripts, that are executed, which detects your system configuraiton and according to their output, the appropriate drivers will get installed.
I wanted to remark this as, there might be some differences in the installation of two systems, when they have other configuration.
Please feel free to correct me if I missed some point.
Cheers

Hp windows recovery disk for windows 7 failing at 84% completion

Hello,
I have a HP Pavilion dv71-4100. The hard drive failed so i purchased a new one and am now trying to reinstall windows through the three disks I got through HP.
Disk 1 work fine all the way through. I then insert disk 2 when prompted and it begins working properly. At 84% it stops and eventually pops up an error message (something with the C drive).
Any ideas what I can do?
Thanks,

Hi,
I've seen this error when the replacement HDD has a smaller capacity than the original, or it could just be a problem with the Recovery Media.
Either way, here's an alternative option you could try.
Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
An example of a COA Label can be seen Here.
You can create an installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your notebook - most likely Windows 7 Home Premium ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. These Images are clean and from a well-respected source. To avoid possible errors, it's best to burn the ISO at the slowest possible speed.
Windows 7 Images.
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

Recovery disks for X240

Son's school computer hard drive crashed. Looks like the recovery partitions migh tbe okay but when I called Lenovo they said they were sending a new drive and the recovery disks for Windows 8.1. Unfortunately the disks are back ordered. Any way to create them from another machine (Lenovo Helix) or are they downloadable? My understanding is the key is imbedded in the machine BIOS.
I need this running again so I can get another battery to replace the one that died (have to be able to read the error message).
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
I don't know what kind of luck you'd have using media created on a different model machine. The Lenovo media isn't downloadable to my knowledge.
What you can do, if you don't mind the fuss, is use the link below to download Microsoft media. If you need the Lenovo stuff too to get past the battery issue, you can then install ThinkVantage System Update and use it to load the Lenovo drivers and software.

Satellite L505-141 - Recovery disk contains Windows 7 32bit

Hello,
I bought my computer last year around March. The operation system I got with the laptop was Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. Lately I'm thinking of format my laptop by using the Recovery CD that I receviced with the laptop. I dont know why but the recovery CD has Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit! Why its 32bit and not 64bit?
The laptop comes with 6GB Ram and Core i5 and I wont benefit my laptop with 32bit Operation System. Is this normal? I was suppose to get the 32bit operation system (really wired if u guys make a laptop with 6gb memory)! This really makes me feel angry. I feel like I was tricked.
If ts the company that I bought the laptop from and not Toshiba's fault I demand and investigation or something like that since they really make a bad name for u guys.
Please answer me as soon as possible.
tnx,
Andrei Braunstein.

Hello
Before you wrote such stuff that is not correct please check the specifications on Toshiba website first and have a look in your *user manual* !
The notebook was delivered with a recovery disk that is Windows 7 32bit so everything is ok with this disk and you got the correct one.
The interesting point is that the recovery disk for Windows 7 64bit you have to create yourself as mentioned in *user manual* ! You can create this disk using preinstalled Toshiba recovery media creator. You need some blank DVDs to create the disks and thats all. After doing this you can restore the preinstalled Windows 7 64bit everytime when you want.
Now its too late for doing this but you can order a recovery disk here:
https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
I can understand you that it would be better using 64bit Windows on a notebook with 6GB RAM but dont forget some older applications dont run on 64bit and require 32bit. Furthermore Im wondering that you dont saw a message that reminds you to create the recovery disk. This message you get after the first start of your computer:
+Important INFORMATION+
+your system is equipped with hard disk recovery system. if you need to repair+
+your computer by restoring it to original factory state, you can do it directly+
+from harddisk (press F8 when you boot your computer, choose "Repair your computer"+

+Toshiba recommends you to create Recovery Disc Medium using the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator" to ensure+

Recovery disks for my HP Pavilion DV 9500 Windows Vista home premium

Does anyone know where I can find recovery disks for my HP Pavilion DV 9500 Windows Vista home premium?? According to HP, disk pn is 446537-004.

Excuse me for not understanding the solution so well....
So I need to purchase an OS for my computer - like windows 7 ??
And I need to download drivers from hp.com - there is a long list of drivers and they are dependent on the operating system - which ones do i need (all??) and supposedly I need to get a new operating system first??
Could I try to just reload drivers before purchasing a new OS - is that possible ?? maybe it is a driver problem and not an OS problem ?? If this is possible, how do I determine which drivers to download and what order to try to install them??
Sorry that I am not so knowledgeable
Thanks,

Dead Hard Drive / Windows 7 / No Recovery Disks for HP G61-632NR Notebook PC

My harddrive is completely DEAD. Is there a way to find out using my serial number if my laptop came with 32 bit or 64 bit? There is NO information at all in the documents I kept with the box. Only the receipt. I see I can only order recovery disks for 64 bit online as 32 bit is not available. I don't' want to pay for them if they won't work. I'm so frustrated this laptop is only a little over 2 years old.

Thanks so much!

I do not have recovery disks for this computer. I tried to order them but them seem to not be available. This is my daughter's computer. She says she started to have trouble after downloading Frost Wire (music share) and then she removed it. We tried going back to an earlier time and that didn't help and then the blue screen with error message appeared. What do I do now?
This question was solved.

Hi,
Assuming your in the US, recovery discs are available to order for that model here. That may be the best option.
You should also be able to do a recovery without the discs as well. Take a look at this document: Recover Windows Vista Operating System Using HP Recovery, and look for the section Restore the PC to its original condition with the HP Recovery Manager if Windows Vista is not accessible. This should allow you to recover the PC.
