F11 HP Recovery Manager not working. How to restore ?
I bought a HP laptop which came with Win 10 Home. Due to some reasons, I downgraded to 8.1 by clean install. Now i want to do factory reset to win 10 But i realised that my F11 hp recovery manager is no longer working.The recovery partitions are hidden and but the files are still there. My hard drive has GPT partition system, so I'm not able to set the recovery partitions active. Using some tool, i made a backup of files in the recovery partition. Is it possible to create any bootable usb recovery disk using the files from recovery partition or even make the f11 work again and restore my laptop to win 10.
I was able to assign these recovery partitions letters temporarily using diskpart.
I also tried to extract the install.swm files in the preload folder using 7zip. Is it possible to restore by cloning these files to primary bootable partition?
