All you need to do is create a Windows 10 USB recovery flashdrive.
From the specs on your PC I see it was not delivered with a recovery manager.
The article at How-to Geek at the link below this line will explain how that is done.

(back from 2016 but I doubt this process has changed)

EDITED TO ADD: The advice from my predecessor will result in you creating generic Windows 10 Installation Media - you will lose all supplied by HP customisation, software & drivers for your PC (whether you need or not it is another thing).

Actually, your Omen now has cloud recovery and it installs a generic Windows 10 installation.
Follow the tutorial at the followng link.

Regardless of how you do it, you will need to install the drivers from the support portal for your notebook.
