Hp pavilion 15-123cccl
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hard drive was damaged. Could not make a recovery disk.  Now the new hard drive is asking for operating sys.  How can I fix this. My old computer runs on windows 7.

Hi:

 

If your old PC is running W7 64 bit, use the HP cloud recovery tool on it to create a bootable USB recovery drive that will reinstall W10, the drivers and the software that originally came with your  15-123cccl notebook.

 

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