Hi, I purchased this laptop on February 2020 and this error has occurred about 2 month ago. I am so frustrated.
I was watching videos and then screen turned black and said "Boot Device Not Found, please install an operating system on your hard disk
Hard Disk - (3F0)."
There was a solution for this error on the website, but it didn't work. The hard drive test passed, but I couldn't find 'legarcy support'.
Please help me with this.
I am attaching photos as references.

Thank you for the response.
I did 1step to 3step that you said but I couldn't do step 5. I restarted and pressed f11 key repeatedly then 'F11...system recovery' appeared at the bottom left on the screen but 'boot device not found' screen pops up again.
Is there any other way perform an jp system recovery? What should I do?
Please let me know.
Thank you.

@Kim3400 did you make use of the HP Recovery partition (F11) or did you use the HP recovery media?
If you don't have an HP Recovery media and have attempted reset using the windows troubleshooter or a retail copy of windows, you'll need to order a recovery media: Click here for steps.
Or you may also attempt to download the same using the steps on this link: click here
