Hard Disk 3F0 Error

[yanochin]

Hello,

I’m having issues with my laptop, the hp pavilion laptop 15-eh1xxx and this error shows up “Please install an operating system on your hard disk, Hard disk (3F0)” . I followed the QR code it provided and did the first few steps by pressing F10, F9 keys but nothing works. It got all too complicated so I didn’t try any further. I have a feeling the laptop is expired because it shows “expired” which i don’t understand what it means by that. 

 

Please help. Thank you.
