Getting a DST failure means the hdd has failed and will need to be replaced. If you are still in warranty HP will replace it. If not a retail 2.5" laptop SATA hard drive can be used-Western Digital,Seagate,Toshiba,etc  all make laptop hdd's.

Your Windows key is embedded in BIOS and will be retrieved atomatically when installing. Microsoft provides the free Media Creation Tool to download files and create a Windows 10 usb flash drive.Advantage is you will have latest updated version of Windows 10. At least 8gb flash drive required:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

Select Download tool now, and select Run.
If you agree to the license terms, select Accept.
On the What do you want to do? page, select Create installation media for another PC, and then select Next.
Select the language, edition, and architecture (64-bit or 32-bit) for Windows 10.
The Guide here shows the steps.Pay attention to Step 5 if you will be using another pc:

-------------------------------
When the flash drive is prepared insert it in a usb port. Power on the laptop and immediately start tapping Esc key. From the menu tap F9 key and use the arrow keys to move to and select usb. Tap Enter key.
When installing it should pickup the key from BIOS but if it asks at any point just choose "I don't have a key". It will continue and should activate once you are online.

AFTER REPLACEMENT OF HD  START AND ESCAPE  SCREEN ALWAYS WITH  F2  CODE 3F0  I HAVE A USB READY WITH MEDIA WIN10 TO LOAD WHAT TO DO TO GET OVER THE F2 SCREEN 

HP Recommended

AFTER INSTALL A NEW HD  OPEN ON START-ESC  F2 SHOW UP ALL THE TIME  EVERYTHING PASSED OK AFTER CHECKING BUT MESSAGE STILL COMING  3FO HOW CAN I CORRECT THIS THANKS

HP Recommended

After tapping Esc are you not seeing other options besides F2? You should also have choice of F9 Boot Options. Can you get into BIOS by tapping F10 key to see if new hdd is recognized?
