Hello @1994robin

Welcome to the HP Suppor forum.

F8 key is for calling Safe Mode or recovery options and it works for Windows - before Windows 8/8.1/10.

By default this doesn't work on 8/8.1 or 10

If Windows came preinstalled by HP on this computer (OEM Windows), then F11 is your button.

The computer should boot from it's recovery partition to open you various recovery options. Note, that F11 option will only work if the recovery partition is there (not deleted) and intact. From there, you have prenty of options to choose from. Every HP computer comes with recovery partition present to assist in tough moments.

Here are details how to perform recovery >> http://hp.dezide.com/ts/start.jsp?guide=HPSystemRecovery.net&section=ccweb&sfs=tdoc&lc=en&language=e...

If your PC didn't have any Windows preinstalled on it, and you installed it later

OR

If the recovery partition is corrupt, there are other options available.

Procedure has been described here >> https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-System-and-Recovery/Reimage-Computer/m-p/6490738#M5...

Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes.
