More about : recovery disc install
thats HP for ya they make the recovery wizard simple and limited. the recovery disks just go by the original configuration of the computer. if HP has the cd key stuck somewhere on the computer i would go find another copy of windows 7 and use that to install it on an SSD drive
the one issue with at is it would install just wondows and not any other programs HP included with the computer

+1 to captaincharisma, you can download an ISO from here
http://forum.notebookreview.com/windows-os-software/604...
and burn it to a disk. All drivers available on HP site, you don't need the extra HP software (otherwise known as bloatware) plus it'll leave more room for proggies on your SSD...
