Actually, your best option would be to perform a factory recover and reinstall your software, including a top of the line antivirus program.
Did you not have one installed?
There is a list of well regarded antivurus products at PCMag.com.
See the following web document.

That is what I use for standard installs. It also depends on whether the PC hard disk has an MBR or GPT format.
Did you not create usb flash drive recovery media?
Was your desktop PC delivered with Windows installed or was it a FreeDos box?
If you install Windows with the Microsoft created installer you will have to download the drivers form HP.
If you install Windows 10 with recovery media crteated by the HP Recovery media creator, all of the required drivers are present in the recovery media.
