    The recovery Media is designed to return the system to the exact same state as it left the factory - some companies allow partial recoveries as well. Check your manual for details.

    Unless I have misunderstood something important, the answer to my question appears clear now.

    1. I need to find the Windows 8 install disk that came with the computer and check if it has a COA sticker. If it does not, I will have to contact the vendor who sold me the computer.
    2. I do not need to download a Windows 7 install disk because the HP Recovery Disk is capable of restoring my system to factory condition.

    Marking this as solved for now.

    Many thanks to each and every one of you.

    If I understand correctly, no need for you to contact the vendor.
    You don't get a COA with Win 8, or with a Win 7 that is a "downgrade" from Win 8.
    I thought the PC came with Win 7 pre-installed in my previous post...

    Go by what Noel says, he is the best Updates and Activation expert.

    Yes, Windows 7 pre-installed but I'm pretty sure a Win 8 install disk was in the box too.

    Okay, so no need to contact the vendor: that's even better.
