Product: HP elitebook 820 G2

So my laptop had been updating. But when I restarted it again afterwards it brought the message 'the operating system wasn't found. Press CTRL ALT DEL to restart.' No matter what I do, it keeps bringing me this message. I run a check on my hard drive and it passes all the tests so I don't know what else to do. I would appreciate any help or advice. (I don't have a bootable USB or a different PC available)

I am using a legacy boot mode in the order:

PCle/M.2 SSD DRIVE

Notebook Hard Drive

USB floppy

USB CD-ROM

USB Hard Drive

Notebook Ethernet

Hi, I will suggest that we do a fresh installation of the operating using a bootable Windows 10 DVD. 

 

There is one available on Amazon and I can share the link with you if you are interested in purchasing it.

 

This is what it looks like,
