Hard Drive error code

[E-scuba-diver]

I rec'd this error code when I ran a hard drive test,  9GFMW4-8QXB0L-XD4CRF-60R403,  what does it mean?  My system is no longer under warranty,  the warranty expired in 2018.   Thanks in advance I appreciate your help.

You will need to install a new hard drive and reinstall the operating system.

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

Download Windows 10 (microsoft.com)

After Windows 10 has completed installing, you can install the drivers and available software from your PC's support page.

Your PC may also be supported by the HP cloud recovery tool that you can use to reinstall W10, the drivers and the software that originally came with your notebook.

Here is an info link for how to use that utility...you will need a 32 GB USB flash drive to create the recovery media with, and another Windows PC running W7 64 bit or newer.
