So when i turn the computer on it loads HP then it turns off back on it does the same thing over and over. My mom says it needs a Reset disc but I don’t have that reset disc at all soooo i have no idea what to do.

The specs of your machine is

It came with Windows 10 Home (64-bit). You have 2 options
(a) Use HP Cloud Recovery tool. It will clear all users data/files and programs

(b) Perform a CLEAN install Windows 10 but keep all users data/files and programs using:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
All you need is to remember to keep all personal data/files and programs.
On both options, Windows 10 will activate itself using a key which is embedded in BIOS of your machine
