Sparekey recovery

[pend99]

I'm having troubleouble getting my laptop to progress thru the BIOS boot. 8 eventually get to an error asking me to use a sparekey USB recovery key. There is also a number, HP Spectre x360 Conv 13-ac092ms - Z4Z30UA.

Suggestions?   

Many thanks!!!

Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:

• Did this happen after a recent window or software update?
• Have you made any hardware/software changes?
• Have you tried any troubleshooting steps?

While you respond to that, let's try these steps: 

1. Turn off the computer, and then connect the power cord.

2. Press and hold the Windows key and the B key at the same time, and then press and hold the Power button for 2 to 3 seconds.

   

3. Release the Power button but continue pressing the Windows and B keys. You might hear a series of beeps.

   • If the HP BIOS Update screen does not display, repeat the previous steps but press the Windows key and the V key. If the screen still does not display, your computer might not support the feature or there is a hard drive issue. Continue to the next section to Recover the BIOS using a USB recovery drive.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
