Hello
I tried to format my HP Laptop 15 ab219tx using the back up DVDs but after formation of Windows in my laptop the DVD writer stopped reading the DVD and now I am stuck with no OS installed on my Laptop. I want original genuine Windows 10 to be installed on my Laptop again but replacement of DVD Writer is costly. I tried to find recovery image for my Laptop model but it's not available on HP website I could only find drivers for it.
Is there any other way I can reinstall Windows 10 to my Laptop again without replacement of DVD Write?
Or is there any way I can copy all content of my back up DVDs to a USB Pendrive and I can reinstall windows from it?

Hello @JIGAR2709 ,
you can download Windows 10 directly from Microsoft https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 and with this Media Creation Tool you can build an Installation USB Stick. During the installation choose „I have no product key“ Windows will be activated as soon as you are connected to the Internet.
If you need additional drivers after the installation, you can get them from this site : https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/laptops

Since your last question was not answered -- I wanted to tell you NO -- you can not simply copy the DVD files to a USB drive and then use that. Why? Because the different DVDs all use the same filenames, and when you copy one DVD content after another, each one overwrites the previous, leaving only the last set of files.
Your better bet is to create new Win10 media as @Uli_vom_Karmel suggested.

Hello,
since your notebook was activated before, the Microsoft Activation Server knows its Hardware ID and will activate it again.
