    As I indicated in my earlier response, I think Carlos was referring to
HP's 'Recovery Manager'. That is indeed not a customization of Windows
*itself*, but is *not* using any "built-in [recovery] feature on
Windows". HP's Recovery Manager can - amongst other functions - restore
the system to from-factory condition, *including* all third party
software, from a special reserved 'HP RECOVERY' partition.

Exactly. Actually, my laptop is a Compaq, which at the time was a second
name of HP. The thing came with W7.

It also had an HP tool to update the machine drivers and things, IIRC.

    The tool was probably 'HP Support Assistant'. It still exists (i.e.
also on my Windows 11 HP laptop). It also contains all kinds of testing
and diagnostic tools. I someone use the 'HP Battery Check' part of it,
because that really tests the battery, instead of just reporting the
values from the battery's electronics.

This laptop has double boot; I have not booted its Windows for years, it is permanently on an old version of openSUSE Linux because it is 32 bits and can not be updated. It sits permanently in front of a static elliptical exercise bike, and I use it to watch part of an episode from Montalbano serial as I exercise. No rebooot, just hibernation.

This Compaq laptop has very good internal speakers. The battery is dead, of the type that can be removed with a click.
