I have this new laptop bought from Amazon, I am running EASEUS Partition Master 7.0.1 Professional Edition to partition the hard drive, after I did the partition the system need to reboot, but then its not booting anymore, how do I rectify this problem at least back to previous stage where there is no partition in the hard drive.
Would be grateful if anyone gives suggestion.
Thank you.

Hi
IF you can create a USB with another PC
GParted is a free partition editor for graphically managing your disk partitions.
With GParted you can resize, copy, and move partitions without data loss, enabling you to:
- Grow or shrink your C: drive
- Create space for new operating systems
- Attempt data rescue from lost partitions
It would go onto a Flash drive and then be bootable.

If in doubt please ask.

Sounds to me that by using "EASEUS Partition Master 7.0.1 Professional Edition to partition the hard drive" - a mistake has either remarked the boot partition or erased it. First try to fix the possibility of it still being there but remarked.
With a working PC, go here and make the install media for Windows 10
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Scroll down to "Using the tool to create installation media" and then follow the directions. Then take this new media and boot the problem PC to this new media. Pick "Repair this PC" instead of install. If that is successful, then you are good. If the repair function does not help, then you need to reinstall Windows 10, using that same media.
For whatever reason you were using "EASEUS Partition Master 7.0.1 Professional Edition to partition the hard drive" - I suggest that you do not do that again.

Thanks, the repairing you mention does not work so I download the new Windows 10 and re-install as you suggest, and it works fine now. But how do I get the Microsoft Office back to the laptop which comes with the new laptop and other softwares too. Or do I have to buy them separately if I need to use them ? And what partition software would work best to partition this new laptop, I am somehow lost with the mention GParted software, I don't know how to use.
Thanks so far for your valuable help.

Hi
https://lubuntu.net/downloads/ is a complete standalone operating system and will run Gparted, the Graphical partition editor.
But more suited to Windows is Paragon Partition Manager
https://support.hp.com/us-en/search?q=HP%20Pavilion%20x360&filter=-1&origin=pdp
returns 6121 entries for " HP Pavilion x360" so if you can improve on the model please.
General office documents I use LibreOffice.
