Where can I download recovery software for Acer Aspire A515-46

ArchangelRenzoku

I installed and replaced the original 128GB SSD with a 512GB one without cloning it. An existing installation of W11 existed on the new SSD, Windows was reset (everything deleted), but the manufacturer name is still ASUS from the old computer. I did make a recovery disk before switching but the new SSD wouldn't complete recovery off the USB drive. Reformatted and tried again - no luck. I assume it has something to do with there being an existing /recovery drive on the SSD and for security Windows doesn't overwrite them without formatting first... I don't have any actual problems running everything this way, but I'm just curious... is the recovery software available for download anywhere or can I purchase it from Acer on a disk? Thanks.
