Product: Pavilion 13-A000
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My PC gives me a hard drive error when I run disk check. Now I know this means I have to replace the drive. One time it told me I had no OS on the drive. I just wanna know what type of hard rive I should buy for my type of laptop.
