Hi @2xmy
unfortunately lose the USB receiver, you can not replace it, you must buy a new keyboard and mouse.

Here it sounds like there are options?
Lost USB receiver for HP Wireless Keyboard and Mouse - HP Support Community - 8828077
Seems a bit insane, especially with all the other things we do to reduce electronic waste. Here the policy is to throw out keyboard+mouse if the dongle is lost....? Whats the thoughts behind that solution.

If you have a set of those link-5 keyboard / mouse combo then you can obtain a link-5 receiver. I have no experience with HP's link-5 but it is described here
I think they were sold back in 2012
Look on mouse and keyboard for link-5 or the 5 stars. if you do not see any link-5 id then as @resistencia wrote you will have to obtain a new set.

there may be programming required supposidly

you can try contacting HP, I just point out that for security reasons a USB receiver has a code for each keyboard and mouse, otherwise anyone could connect to your keyboard or mouse with another USB receiver.
