Hi:

 

You will have to install a new hard drive and reinstall the operating system.

 

Below is the link to the service manual, where you can find the hard drive removal and replacement procedure.

After you replace the drive, you can use the HP cloud recovery tool to create a bootable USB recovery drive that will reinstall W10, the drivers and the software that originally came with your notebook.

 

You will need to have access to another Windows PC running W7 64 bit or newer, and a 32 GB USB flash drive.

 

Here is an info link for how to use the cloud recovery tool.
