Hi:
Yes, you can use the HP cloud recovery tool on another PC running W7 64 bit or newer and a 32 GB USB flash drive to create a bootable USB recovery drive that will reinstall W10, the drivers and the software that originally came with your notebook.
Here is an info link for how to use the utility.

While you are making the recovery media, I recommend you run the hard drive diagnostics test (F2) and confirm that the hard drive does not have a problem.
