You're very welcome.

 

It looks like a standard 2.5" notebook hard drive to me.

You can replace it with any one you want.

 

I just bought this model 500 GB SSD and it works great.

You can reinstall W10 for free by using the media creation tool at the link below to make a bootable W10 USB flash drive.

Hi:

 

If you got a 24 character failure code, you need to replace the hard drive and reinstall the operating system.

 

Below is the link to the service manual.

You may want to consider replacing the mechanical hard drive with a better performing normally more reliable solid state drive (SSD).

Hi Paul

thanks for this. Where do I get a new hard drive. Looked on HP but hard drives were not available in the spares section for this product.  Directed me to resellers,  getting the correct one seems to be a problem.   Have removed the existing and copied details  but still struggling to find a source of replacement. Any ideas
