So last night my laptop (HP 15") froze and when it was restarted is said boot device could not be found.
I have tried a couple of fixes including enabling legacy support and forcing a reset.

I can't run a disk check as it says not installed. I think the drive is shot.

I could buy a new laptop but I love the one I have and would like to keep it if possible plus there are files on that drive I could do with so a couple of questions.

1. What is the easiest ways to recover the files from the drive?
2. How can I install windows on a new drive? I was using win 10 do I now need to pay for it, I got it as a free upgrade.

Thanks
