You'll have to make a bootable USB W10 installation flash drive with the Microsoft Media creation tool from the link below and reinstall Windows.

 

Download Windows 10

 

To boot from the installation media, have the flash drive plugged into your PC's USB port.

 

Turn on or restart the PC.

 

Immediately tap the ESC key to get the menu of options.

 

Select the F9 boot options menu and from that, select the USB flash drive and press the Enter key and the PC should boot from the USB flash drive.

 

After W10 has completed installing, you can install the drivers and available software from your notebook's support page:
