Hello;
Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!
I see you're running Win10. Did the PC come preinstalled with Win10? Or, did you upgrade it from a prior OS to Win10?
This is important as the recovery/reset method is different for the two situations.
We can proceed when you provide the answers.

OK, then in that case it is likely to still be under the original HP warranty.
You paid for free HP Tech Support as part of the warranty coverage, so you might as well make use of it.
While this PC is still under warranty, you should contact HP Customer Support directly to have them put you in touch with HP Technical Support to see what they can do about troubleshooting and repairing your machine remotely.
I did this recently and the HP Tech was able to remotely access my PC from the Internet and do the needed repairs.
