Hi,
I'm guessing you did not see a OA MEA listing with the app ?
I have no idea what an OE MEA license is.
I don't remember reading about that before, and i can't find any OE MEA license info.
Is this a new laptop, refurbished, special order, etc., ?
Maybe we need to get NoelDP to help with this.
As i understand it
- You want to install original windows.
- You lost your Recovery Partition, so you can not create Recovery Media now.
- You never created the Recovery Media before.
- You don't have a System Image Backup you can restore.
- HP charges too much to order Recovery media
You've got a weird situation with your laptop - Home Basic/Country/Language/Bit version
None of us can find the ISO download for what you have now - Home Basic/English/64-Bit
You may need to contact HP and see whatever they can do to help you,
or purchase a new Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit license,
or use Home Basic 32 Bit.
Unfortunately that's how many of us learn why to have backups, and it can be a costly lesson.
Have you downloaded the Ultimate English 64 Bit ISO, unlocked it, and see if Home Basic is in there ?
This might be of help. The OA MEA, as shown on the OP's activation sticker is for factory installed OS & in this case it is for HP, as the OP's computer is a HP, according to their system specs.
This HP website might be helpful.

Did you create an unlocked universal installer from a Win 7 Ultimate ISO ?Have you downloaded the Ultimate English 64 Bit ISO, unlocked it, and see if Home Basic is in there ?
I found an Eight Forums thread that looks like it shows Home Basic/English/64 Bit is available in an unlocked Win 7 ISO.
Take a look at the Win 7 screen print in this Eight Forums thread:
How to make Universal Windows 8.1 installation DVD or USB
Home Basic and Home Premium are both in it. This will tell you how. Windows 7 Universal Installation Disc - Create The ei.cfg removal tool will unlock all versions. It's really simple to do either all X86 or all X64. It gets a little harder for both on one disk/USB.
Hi guys
I downloaded the Ultimate English 64 Bit ISO, and delete ei.cfg
and booom, i get Home basic 64 bit
i want to thank every one of you guys, really thank you :)
