HP Recommended

Use the Microsoft Media creation tool to create bootable installation media.

 

Download Windows 10 (microsoft.com)

 

If your PC was made in 2016 or later, it may be supported by the HP cloud recovery tool which you can use to create a bootable USB recovery drive that will reinstall W10, the drivers and the software that originally came with your notebook.

 

Here is an info link for how to use the utility.
