Hi:

 

Yes, the W10 product key is in the BIOS, and as long as you install the correct version of W10 the key is good for (Home, Pro, Single Language, etc.), it will install and automatically activate.

 

You can make a W10 bootable USB flash drive installer by using the Media Creation tool at the link below.

You can also use the HP cloud recovery client utility to create installation media to reinstall W10.

 

Here is an info link for how to use that utility...
