I’m confused on if I need to buy a new hard drive? If I do please drop a link to where and what I would get because I don’t understand 😓 

 

Messages that show when I turn on my computer: 

 

Boot Device Not Found

Please install an operationing system in your hard disk.

Hard Disk (3F0)

 

Version 1.16.0.0 - BI0S

When I do a Memory Test it passes 

But fails Hard Drive Check ; I did both the quick and extensive check & same failure ID for both

If you need Recovery Media to install Windows on the new drive it is available on your Support page. Last item in the list of drivers/software:
https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-15-ba000-notebook-pc-series-touch/10862319/model...


Or,if you prefer not ordering-your Windows 10 license key is embedded in BIOS and you can reinstall Windows without HP Recovery Media. 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:
