Re: hp - windows media creation tool
The OEM Windows key is embedded in the restoration image. If your hardware is compatible MS allows/encourages free upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11. A new Windows key is not required!

Re: hp - windows media creation tool
Hi Cam. Thanks for your reply. For you/any others who might have these kinds of questions/issues (I know this isn't strict Fedora) It appears there's the Windows data files for the ISO It appears the windows mediacreationtool.exe is used It appears that win11 doesn't require a key (true/false)?? still researching this It appears a clean usb fat32 can be formatted/used for the bootable ISO.. This could then allow for testing of installing Fedora/etc.. and returning to win as needed.. Feel free to add anything I may have left out.. thanks ps.. Now to get hp to lower their prices!

Re: hp - windows media creation tool
Your laptop should have a hidden partition that contains the OS recovery data. What you want is the app to create a media recovery disk. The app should be in the HP folder.
