How do I install windows 10 after replacing the hard drive in Hp 15 p107TX notebook?

[Jenn13]

My son dropped his notebook, corrupted the hard drive, I ordered & replaced the hard drive. It was purchased with windows 8.1 OS he upgraded to Windows 10 OS during the free upgrade period. It was out of warranty by 1 week when he dropped it....so after replacing the hard drive... now what & do I have to purchase a new windows 10 OS?

PS: He doesn't need to recovery any files, we just need a clean windows 10 install

Thanks

Hey Visruth, I couldn't manage to download the media creation tool on my vista, so I got a computer shop guy to do it on usb & dvd for $44. I used the usb to boot up first but it wouldn't work, so obviously I was cursing the computer guy thinking he didn't do it right, so I tried the dvd he supplied & BAMMMM!! Booted up, installed & all is running perfectly, thank you so much.....only for you I would have been lost & to get the computer guy to do everything would have cost a hell of a lot more, so thanks again you saved me a bunch!!

Cheers
