Hi:
The error code you received, Hard Disk 1 SMART Hard Drive Detects Imminent Failure, means the hard drive is in danger of failing. It will need to be replaced in the near future.
If you can still get into Windows, back up any files you don't want to lose.
You can wait until the HDD actually dies, and you can't use your notebook, or you can get ahead of the problem and replace the hard drive now.
Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook's model series.

The hard drive R & R procedure can be found in chapter 6.
If you do not need a lot of hard drive space, you may want to opt for a more reliable, better performing solid state drive. I have the 240 GB model in two of my HP notebooks and 2 of my HP desktop PC's. It works great.

After you replace the hard drive, you can reinstall W10 for free as follows...
To reinstall W10...Use the Media Creation Tool. Make the 64 bit installation media.

You can make a W10 USB flash drive installer using an 8 GB flash drive using another Windows PC, if your PC is not working.
If you are asked to enter a product key during the installation process, select the 'I don't have a product key' option, and W10 will install and automatically activate once you are connected to the internet.
Here are the steps to create the W10 USB flash drive installer...
- Select Download tool now, and select Run.
- If you agree to the license terms, select Accept.
- On the What do you want to do? page, select Create installation media for another PC, and then select Next.
Select the language, edition, and architecture (64-bit or 32-bit) for Windows 10. You want 64 bit.
- Select which media you want to use:
- USB flash drive. Plug in a blank USB flash drive with at least 8GB of space. Any content on the flash drive will be deleted.
You can also save the W10 ISO file instead of making the bootable USB flash drive installer, and burn it to a DVD using the tool I zipped up and attached below if you would rather use a DVD to reinstall W10.
Then you can reinstall the drivers and available software from the PC's support page.
