But I use ASUS not sure if factory reset is an option on HP
Probably is, give me 5 mins
If not it’s going to be a USB

• Create a bootable USB with Windows.
• Boot your HP laptop from that USB (press Esc > F9 to access Boot Menu).
• Choose Custom Install during setup, delete all partitions, and reinstall Windows fresh.
