Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My hard disk on my HP Pavilion G 6 Notebook died. I cannot access the recovery partition. Please point me to a link to download windows 10 into a bootable USB to load my new hard drive. I've looked through the drivers links but the windows 10 down load does not appear.

Hi:

 

You can use the media creation tool to create a bootable USB W10 installer from the link below.

 

Download Windows 10 (microsoft.com)

 

Boot from the installation media, and you will be asked to select a version of W10 to install.

 

Select the version of W10 you had upgraded to (probably W10 Home) before you switched out the hard drive.

 

Then you will be asked to enter a product key.

 

Select the 'I don't have a product key' option, and W10 will install and automatically activate after you are connected to the internet.
