are you connected by wifi or ethernet?

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•7/2/25, 8:42 PM

also typically that will time out after 120s, so just wait for it

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•7/2/25, 8:43 PM

if you want to factory reset it though just reinstall the OS

Put a USB drive with an ISO windows, then plug it in, do boot setup, and put the USB drive as #1 priority

Orientate•7/2/25, 8:49 PM

But see the BIOS setup beforehand

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•7/2/25, 8:49 PM

you can also boot into a linux mint install USB

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•7/2/25, 8:49 PM

Okay yeah you need a USB

But I use ASUS not sure if factory reset is an option on HP

Orientate•7/2/25, 8:53 PM

Probably is, give me 5 mins

Orientate•7/2/25, 8:53 PM

If not it’s going to be a USB

Rg-zaisOP•7/2/25, 8:54 PM

I haven’t seen any options

RRg-zais I haven’t seen any options

Orientate•7/2/25, 8:57 PM

Searched and you said recovery isn’t an option

Download the Windows Media Creation Tool from another PC.
• 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.

That’s what Google gave me

Rg-zaisOP•7/2/25, 8:57 PM
