HP ProBook data recovery
We recover files from all 3 HP ProBook models (sold 2024–2026), including the ProBook 4 G1i 14, ProBook 4 G1i 16 and ProBook 4 G1a 14, at our London SE1 lab. They have an NVMe M.2 SSD. Common causes of data loss are a failed drive, liquid, drops and accidental deletion.
Where your files are
The HP ProBook stores everything on an NVMe M.2 SSD. Windows 11 laptops like this usually have device encryption or BitLocker switched on, so have your Microsoft account ready: the recovery key is stored there.
This series comes in 14 and 16-inch versions; the size is part of the model number. Business laptops are often encrypted by the company’s IT team. If yours was a work laptop, ask your IT department for the BitLocker recovery key.

What’s wrong with it?
| What it is doing | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| Laptop starts, then “no bootable device” | The SSD has stopped responding: controller or firmware failure. The data is usually still in the flash chips. |
| BitLocker recovery screen | Find the recovery key in your Microsoft account before anything else. |
| Liquid spilled on it | Switch off and unplug the charger. Corrosion on the SSD or board can be repaired. |
| Blue screens, then nothing | Often a failing SSD. Stop using it. |
| Files deleted | TRIM may already have erased them. Switch off straight away. |
Switch it off. Don’t keep restarting a laptop that clicks, freezes or won’t start, and don’t reset Windows.
Questions about the HP ProBook
Which HP ProBook models do you recover?
All of them, including the ProBook 4 G1i 14, ProBook 4 G1i 16, ProBook 4 G1a 14. If your exact model isn’t listed, we still recover it.
Can you recover data from an HP ProBook that won’t turn on?
Usually, yes. These laptops have an NVMe M.2 SSD, which we can take out and recover even if the laptop itself is dead.
Is my data encrypted?
Possibly. Many Windows 10 and 11 laptops switch on device encryption or BitLocker automatically. The recovery key is saved in your Microsoft account at aka.ms/myrecoverykey. With the key, encryption doesn’t stop the recovery.
How long does it take?
Most logical recoveries take two to four working days. Drives that need cleanroom work or board repair take longer, and we can prioritise urgent jobs.
