You're looking for a fresh setup with custom drivers, avoiding the original HP disk. It's okay if you've lost it or can't locate it—Microsoft offers a way to reinstall Windows without needing the old drive. Since you're upgrading to Intel and moving from AMD, this clean installation will give you full control over driver selection.

Use a tool named ProduKey to retrieve your key. Determine your Windows version and download it from the provided link. If the key appears as BIOS OEM in ProduKey, you won’t have to enter it manually.

Consider an alternative method without using CD. Press refresh in the search bar and choose "Refresh your PC without affecting your files". Also, remember to delete all files and restart Windows completely.
