Running the HP Cloud Recovery Tool
Insert USB flash drive. To create a recovery image using the HP Cloud Recovery Tool, first plug in your blank USB flash drive (minimum 32 GB) into your computer.

Enter Proxy information (if required). If you are on a secure network, the download tool automatically detects and populates the proxy information. Click Next.

Detect device information. When the cloud recovery tool detects the information for your device, click Next. If you download the recovery media on a different computer than the computer you want to recover, select the "I need to enter Product ID for my HP system check box" to type the information for the affected system.
