Hi,
You're welcome
First of all, the drive on the link below is an example of one that would be fine for your notebook.
The procedure to replace the Hard Drive starts on Page 69 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.
Regarding reinstalling Windows 10 on the new drive, as long as the previous installation of Windows 10 had activated Ok after the upgrade from 8.1, you can just perform a clean installation as detailed in the guide on the following link. Note: At the activation screen, select 'I don't have a Product key' - Windows will activate automatically once the installation has completed.

Concerning the data on the failing drive, one option would be to remove the HDD, place it in an external caddy - an example is on the link below - connect this to another PC and see if you can access your files.

Hi,
The 24 character error code is a failure of the short Disk Self Test ( DST ) and would indicate that the Hard Drive is failing and needs to be replaced.
If you would like a guide on replacing the Hard Drive yourself, please let me know - include the current version of Windows that's installed on the machine ( ie Windows 8.1 or Windows 10.
