Hi
"Then i bought a Windows 7 installation disc."
Not from Microsoft or HP I assume, but an unknown source?
Try...
Hi
First:- Turn off the computer, press and hold the PWR button for 4 seconds.
Then - Leave only keyboard and mouse connected, disconnect all externally connected
devices such as Docking Station, USB storage devices, displays, and printers.
Unplug the AC adapter from the computer.
Next - Press and Hold the Power button for 15 seconds to Hard Reset.
Rinse and Repeat
AND/OR - Power on your PC, press Esc (repeatedly), then F2 at the prompt.
Choose System Tests (Fast Test does a 4 minute hardware check).
AND a W7 disc can be downloaded from...
From 2016 onwards there is a possible recovery option via the cloud...
HP Consumer PCs - Using the HP Cloud Recovery Tool (Windows 7 & 10)
https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c06162205
OR
This First part only works when a valid Recovery Partition is enabled.
If it displays an error message then move onto the Second part,
OR if you have data you wish to try and save using the XCOPY command.
Then create your own Repair/Recovery/Rebuild/Re-install media or buy a set from HP.
Turn off the computer.
Disconnect all connected devices and cables, Media Drives, USB drives, printers, & faxes.
Remove media from internal drives, and remove any recently added internal hardware.
Do not disconnect the monitor, keyboard, mouse, or power cord.
Turn on the computer and repeatedly press the F11 key, about once every second,
until the Choose an option screen is displayed, and then continue.
On the Choose an Option screen, click Troubleshoot, and work your way through the screens.
Second Part:-
This may require another PC. Find and Download your .iso from…
(You will need a NON_OEM key for W7;
W8.x and W10 should activate automagically from their embedded licence key.)
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows7
A 3rd party site like…
https://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft/67-microsoft-windows-iso-download-tool
Expand/Extract/Burn the iso Image onto a DVD/USB as needed.
Microsoft’s Creator Tool may make the required DVD or USB.
NB:- W7 Try running a Startup Repair more than once for a full fix.
If in doubt please ask.

I cannot help.
Your answers and your credibility are confusing me.
Operating system | Windows 8.1 versions Windows 7 Pro (available through downgrade rights from Windows 8.1 Pro) FreeDOS 2.0 |
No mention of W10 for the model you give.
You post a picture of W10 disc in a thread entitled...
Re: Want to Reinstall windows 7 but installation getting stuck.
You state..
"Then i bought a Windows 7 installation disc."

SO BYE.

Thanks for helpin me anyway, the 3 disc I was talkin about, just now I inserted and it format the hard drive and I re-installed Windows 10. Now I got my Windows 10 back. Developers seems confused nowadays. Lol. Or maybe i failed to elaborate my problem. Have a nice day.
