Hello @Dorita714 

 

If system update takes too long, press and hold <power> button until notebook switches off.

 

(1) Test your hardware Using the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI)

https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04499777

See how it works:

(2) If drive test fails 

- Short DST [ drive self test ] fails => please replace drive and reinstall operating system.

 

(3) Please report your results

(4) Do you need more help ?
