It was to 91%, estimation time 3minutes. Then

Failed HP recovery Manager. Error code = 0xEFFFFF08

Well, I'll try to do with bootable USB. I found a topic on hp where somebody has to try with an USB.
I have just to change the USB port I use often.

Sadly, that probably means that the recovery partition itself has an error in it.

Or at least that's what I get from

HP forum post on 0xEFFFFF08

Error Code 0xEFFFFF08 is an HP Error Code (not a Microsoft Error Code). It, simply, means that you have to use a different USB port on your computer! Using the Recovery Manager requires that you use a particular USB port on your computer. Try the different
USB ports on your computer. HP recommends starting with a USB port on the LEFT SIDE!

If your laptop has a sticker on it with the W8.1 serial number, you can follow post #2 in that URL and download a legal copy of W8.1 for you to install to a USB and then try a reinstall. Unfortunately, the next step is to download the HP drivers for your laptop and install them as well.

I had sticker for Vista. No sticker for W8 (nor the W10).

I'll try the left side of computer. I can't make a mistake, I have only 1 port at the left

I don't believe she's using a USB for this. She was trying to use the recovery partition on the hard disk.
