Hi,

This message usually shows when the hard drive has failed. What message do you get when you do the system diagnostics (F2) ?

 

You will most likely need to replace the hard drive with a 2.5" sata drive. You could choose an SSD for greater performance. You will also need to reinstall the OS with either recovery disks or by downloading the media creation tool from Microsoft and running to create a bootable usb drive with Windows 10 on it. It will be automatically activated once installed as long as you install the same version (home or pro).

 

Let me know,

David
