Hi:

 

The error code reported, Hard Disk 1 Quick Test Failure, means the hard drive needs to be replaced, and the operating system reinstalled.

 

Consult the service guide below, for your PC for the hard drive removal and replacement procedure.

After you replace the hard drive, you can reinstall W10 for free by making a bootable USB installation flash drive using the media creation tool at the link below.

If you are asked to enter a product key during the installation process, select the 'I don't have a product key' option, and W10 will install and automatically activate once you are connected to the internet.

 

Then you can install the drivers and available software from your PC's support page.
