Windows 10: Clean install + keep HP recovery partition

Hi there,so i bought a new HP pc and it came pre-installed with an activated Windows 11 *Home* and a bunch of bloatware.I have a Windows 11 *Pro* Retail USB-stick/license, so i plan to do a clean install with it.Now, I'm wondering whether it would be wise to keep the HP recovery partition. I assume this would recover Windows 11 Home if i'd ever want to use it.So if i'd decide to keep this, what partitions do i delete and which do i keep?I'm not sure what to expect if i boot from my USB-stick to re-install Windows 11 Pro.PS.- Booting with F10 gets me into the bios.- Booting with F11 gets me int

:)

Help with HP System Recovery partition

I will try and cut this short:

So i have this HP pavilion DV5-1987 laptop, that came with windows vista home premium 32bit. A couple of months later i installed a 64bit version, and about a week ago i installed Windows 7 x64 RTM. Both installations was a fresh install on the C partition, leaving the recovery partition intact and alone.
Now i have regrettet and want the original os to be reinstalled. But it doesnt work.
The bios options does nothing, i press ESC to get to boot options, choose F11 for boot to recovery partition, and it goes straight to windows 7.
i search the internet for options and try these suggestions:
Mark drive D as active partition (the rec partition). it still boots to win 7.
boot to super grub from a boot cd, and press "AUTO MAGIC BOOTER" (something like that). it then shows me two identical "vista boot loader" to choose from, and both goes into win 7, and a third (other OS) that gives me and error and returns to grub loader.

there a several other suggestions but either they wont work in my scenario or are another iteration of what i have already tried.

So uh... help? please? if you need anymore information please ask.

yeah, i really regret that now *Bang Head :banghead: typical me. Well, im the kind of guy who reads the manual AFTER the device broke.

EDIT

So installed hp recovery program, it works, but it says there arent any recovery partitions and asks for the cd's. Need to find a way for the program to look at the D: partition.
