    If your computer didn't come with a recovery dvd it should have a recovery partition and program to use it

    You are not going to find an OEM specific Windows installation media here.

    Contact your OEM to receive OEM media if vanilla media is not good enough

    I just... I just don't get it.....

    They posted those OEM images for people who already have an ORIGINAL WINDOWS 8 PRO COMPUTER
    JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE AN OLD HP COMPUTER DOESN'T MEAN YOU NEED AN HP OEM DVD.

    Like Alex and Anarchist said an HP OEM ISO/Disk even if you could find one does you no good because your Bios/UEFI has no activation support for Windows 8 .. There will be no DAZ loader or Bios mod for Windows 8 so everything you thought you knew about installing an OS with an OEM ISO stopped with W 7 period end of discussion .. Your best choice is to either try and get the $14.99 deal before the end of Feb,, or get the ISO that Alex pointed you too and KMS activate .. Those are your only choices ..
