Some have an image built in, google the model and image and it should come up.

Otherwise, get a disc.

GOOGLE

Recovering the system without using Windows
Disconnect all peripherals and internal non preinstalled devices from the PC, except the monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

Turn on the computer.

When the initial blue HP screen appears, press the F10 key repeatedly until a recovery menu appears. The progress indicator that first appears does not indicate that a recovery is taking place. The progress indicator represents the time before the recovery process is started.

When the Recovery screen appears, click Next, and then click Yes to perform a normal, non-destructive recovery.

To perform a destructive recovery, click Advanced, and then click Yes.

After the System Recovery is complete, and the computer starts successfully, update the computer software as follows:

If that doesn't work you'll need the discs.

Yes on mu HP laptop there is a D: drive which has the factory installation image on it, it's quite easy to follow as I've done it before on mine.
