Hello!

SMART Hard Disk Error

The SMART hard disk error check detected an imminent failure. To ensure not data loss, please backup the content immediately and run the Hard Disk Test in System Diagnostics.

F2 System Diagnostics

if i press Enter the windows boots up with no problem

if i try to test the hard drive it fails with following ID:

Failure ID: 9LRGXX-000ALT-XD7URG-60BK03 

can you please help me solve this problem.

Sadly to say: Most of the time the 24 char disk failure id indicates the HDD is failing and it needs to be replaced.. Is it still under warranty ? If NOT, you have to replace yourself then rebuild your machine.

For (original) Windows 10. Please use Cloud Recovery tool:

According to the maintenance and service guide posted here http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04763947

You system can use either a 7 or 9.5 mm 2.5 inch drive.  There are many choices available in SSD drives that you could install, Gb these Western Digital are one of many. Your laptop series came with drives up to 750 Gb so you should be able to install up to a 1 Tb drive with no issues.
