If the notebook is less than 5 years old, you can use the HP cloud recovery tool with another Windows PC to make a bootable USB recovery drive that will return the drive to its 'out of the box' condition.

 

Here is an info link for how to use the utility.  You will need a 32 GB USB flash drive for this.

 

HP Consumer PCs - Using the HP Cloud Recovery Tool in Windows 11 and 10 | HP® Support

 

You can download the software from the Microsoft Store:

 

HP Cloud Recovery Tool - Free download and install on Windows | Microsoft Store

 

You will need to enter your notebook's product number in the tool's search window in order to proceed to make the recovery media.

 

Include the #ABA to the right of the product number.
