Envy 14 - UK Thread

Dear Envy 14-1190ea users,

I come here today with sad news, and a selfish question. But first, let me share my story. Everything started when I bought the awesome HP Envy 14-1190ea when I was in UK. Great laptop! But then I did the utmost stupid thing ever: formatted the recovery partition. Tears have been shed since then.

After a few weeks e-mailing HP about buying a recovery disk here in Brazil (where I live), they told me they are unable to ship a recovery disk of my model here, because they don't sell the HP Envy 14-1190ea here.

The situation was pretty bad, but I could make it because everything with my OS was fine, until it wasn't anymore. I know I could simply download Windows 7 and use my key, but I want the OS with factory settings - software installed and everything else. I actually want to restore it to factory settings exactly to have all the crap HP puts on my Windows, including Photoshop Elements and other software you can only have when restoring it from a recovery partition.

That's why I'm here. I'm here today to make an appeal.
I need someone to zip/burn an iso of their recovery partition and share it with me. Seed it as a torrent, I don't know, anything.
This is the only way I can have the OS with factory settings back. And don't worry about the key, the Windows 7 will ask for it and I'll use mine, of course.

I know I'm asking something really selfish, but I'm even willing to pay for this. Of course I would need to try the recovery partition first, but I don't think there's a problem with that. I'm desperate.

My laptop is an HP Envy 14-1190ea. Product number: XE659EA

I really do not understand why bother with recovery partition and media.

I wiped the recover partition the day I got the laptop and reformatted it.

Just head over to hp.com and support and drivers and find the laptop model.

Download all drivers and install them after install a fresh copy of windows 7 without all the crap HP puts on their Windows.

Easier, faster and your laptop will run much, much faster.

 

I actually want to restore it to factory settings exactly to have all the crap HP puts on my Windows, including Photoshop Elements and other software you can only have when restoring it from a recovery partition.

 

Should have said that in the beginning.

Maybe someone can hel pyou with that here.

 

Thanks for the tip, I edited my first post
