Boot Device Not Found, Please Install an Operating System

[DianneF333]

My grandson's HP 15 f039 wm laptop needed a new hard drive, which I replaced.  When I power it up, I get the following message:

Boot device not found

Please install an operating system

Hard Disk (3F0)

For more information, please visit www.hp.com/go/techcenter/startup

I do not have the disks that came with the laptop (which was purchased new several years ago).

How can I get an operating system on this new disk?

Thank you!

I have placed an order for the recovery kit.  

Please confirm that this is the only product I need to get to the point where I can install other software?
