Hi guys.
My brother gave me his laptop to fix some problems he was having.
The laptop was unusable and I used hp recovery to restore to factory state.
Is in windows 7 right now and I want to upgrade to w10. he uses some programs to work made by a company called totvs, in their site the software is w10 compatible but these work programs may be a pain when not used a certain platform.
So I want to upgrade to Windows 10 and if he goes to work and program do not work I just use the recovery tool to reset to Windows 7.
But I read that the recovery partition may be lost in the process.
So is there a way to keep this partition intact so I can use it when I need?
I can use this partition without entering windows, using f8 and selecting repair computer, the last option is recovery tool by hp. The software is probably in recovery partition but who knows, maybe to access this menu you have to have the stock OS.
Thanks in advance.
