My laptop would not start up it's stuck on a screen that saids boots device not found please install an operating system on your hard disk (3F0)

@Asiaandrews33 -- the disk-drive inside your computer either:

is not currently connected, via a SATA cable to your motherboard
is not currently connected to a power-connector
has completely failed, making it impossible to read any files, including your copy of Windows, from it.

It's easy to check the first two items.

For the third item, get a computer technician to replace the disk-drive, and to install Windows onto it.
