Hi:
The product specs for your notebook indicate that it came with W8.1 from HP, so HP is only going to have W8.1 recovery media for sale.

You can reinstall W10 for free by making bootable installation media using the media creation tool at the link below.

When you get to the part of the installation that asks you to enter a product key, select the 'I don't have a product key' option, and W10 will install and automatically activate once you are connected to the internet.
After W10 has completed installing, you can install the drivers and available software from your PC's support page.

If you would rather order the W8.1 recovery media from HP, you can do so at the link below...

I warn you this will reinstall Windows 8.1, just like the first day you got your notebook.
