Hi:

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

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook, where you can find the hard drive removal and replacement procedure.

After you replace the hard drive, you can make a bootable recovery drive using the HP cloud recovery client utility to reinstall W10, the drivers and the software that came with your PC.

Here is an info link for how to use that utility...

So...short dst will slows down the system????

If you are still able to get into windows, back up any files you don't want to lose onto a portable hard drive as soon as possible, because your hard drive is on its way out.

Yes, a failing hard drive will slow down the system.
