Hi:

 

Yes, if you buy a new hard drive and reinstall the operating system, you should be back in business.

 

Below is the link to the service manual...

After you replace the drive, you can reinstall W10 for free by making bootable installation media using the media creation tool at the link below.

After W10 has completed installing, you can install the drivers and available software from your notebook's support page.
