Hi:

 

If your notebook came with a recovery partition, you should be able to power on the PC, tap the F11 key at the beginning of the HP welcome screen and select a factory reset option.

 

If you do not have that option you will need to order a USB flash recovery drive.

Don't read the link. Put the cursor on it and left click it to go to the source of the link.

 

You can a order usb recovery flashdrive (preferred) or a recovery disk set. The cost is usually around $30.00 USD
