I’ve deleted some files and apparently I deleted the windows of my laptop. Now I’m at a blue screen that gives me 6 options system reboot (but that doesn’t work sense I need a disk to identify windows). System image recovery (doesn’t work), system repair, command prompt, setup setting,  go back. So which one do I pick and what do I do.

If you deleted critical Windows files, then NONE of those are going to work.

 

You should see if you can make a bootable USB recovery drive using the HP cloud recovery tool on a working PC.

The recovery drive can then be used to install Win10 and the HP drivers and utilities that originally came with your PC.

Hi, @Michaelt71 

 

Your notebook is not supported by the HP cloud recovery tool.

 

You have two options...

 

1. Order recovery media from HP at the link below.

2. Clean install W10 for free by making a bootable W10 installation flash drive 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.
