HP Notebook - 15-ay021ds
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
I tried reinstalling windows 10, going back to factory set up. But inbetween the setup the system restarted or crashed.
Now the recovery manager is not working; Unable to install factory setup. I don't recall my windows10 serial number.
Could you please help me (1) connect my laptop to network (2)download necessary image file and boot my machine?
I don't have alternate laptop now. I have good android mobile and high speed network
Many thanks.

Many thanks for the solution. I have given my system to HP authorised support team to fix my system. I will try these options if I don't get right support.
Will revert back in a week time.

Unfortuantely, since the laptop won't boot the only option is to contact HP and order Recovery Media to boot from.

Or use the free Media Creation Tool from Microsoft to make a Windows 10 usb flash drive to boot from.Your Windows key is embedded in BIOS and it is automatically retrieved during an install,

Your android phone is not going to do this. Maybe you can find a friend or co-worker who will let you make it using their computer.

My laptop has come back now. It has os installed. I have downloaded win10 from Microsoft, will have to burn it on a DVD as backup.
