I was attempting to fresh reinstall Windows on my laptop but wanted to clear the drives so it was clear for new fresh info. I'm my stupidity, I apparently erased everything down to the OS because upon reboot it tells me "no boot device detected" and that i need to "install OS". 

This was not the intended outcome, apparently, so any advice is much appreciated!!!!

Hi:

 

The PC is supported by the HP cloud recovery tool which you can use to create a bootable USB recovery drive that will reinstall W10, the drivers and the software that originally came with the PC.

 

Here is an info link for how to use the utility:  You will need a 32 GB USB flash drive to create the recovery media with.

Since you have to use another PC to install the tool on, you will need to enter the product number for your PC to create the recovery media, which is: X7V29UA#ABA
