Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help,
A system recovery completely erases any local files or settings and returns the computer to its original factory-shipped state.
If a hard reset does not resolve your issue OR your Chromebook shows the error message Chrome OS is missing or damaged, you might need to perform a system recovery. For detailed instructions go to Chromebook Help Center and search for Recover your Chromebook.
If a system recovery still does not resolve the issue, contact HP support. To check the warranty of your laptop, go to HP Customer Support - Product Warranty Check.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
