Have you installed an OS before? It isn't hard and Microsoft will walk you through it step by step. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 . Do you still have the windows 10 key for your laptop? It's usually on a sticker on the bottom. If not it will still probably be fine. Microsoft should recognize your motherboard and let you activate without the key.

And I don't know what model laptop you have, but here's the gist of what you would need to do to fix it yourself https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/HP+Omen+15-ax280nd+Hard+Drive+Replacement/78582 .

You can probably find a guide like this for your specific laptop. You just need to get a hold of whatever tools you need for disassembly. Probably just a small screwdriver. And buy a new 2.5" hard drive or SSD. Make sure to get a 2.5", 3.5" is bigger and for desktops. And if you want to upgrade your laptop, you could drop a few extra bucks on an SSD like this https://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-Performance-Internal-SP512GBSS3A55S25/dp/B07997QV4Z/ref=sxin_2_ac_d_pm?ac_md=2-1-QmV0d2VlbiAkNTAgYW5kICQxMDA%3D&keywords=ssd&pd_rd_i=B07997QV4Z&pd_rd_r=8c8ec285-e5ed-4056-b88d-6dd584a83a66&pd_rd_w=oWMGp&pd_rd_wg=Ncqs3&pf_rd_p=64aaff2e-3b89-4fee-a107-2469ecbc5733&pf_rd_r=SMWN86TBJ3JAJH967WW6&qid=1564678407&s=gateway . It makes the computer feel faster. It'll boot up quicker, programs will open faster, and the computer will just feel more snappy when you click stuff. Shouldn't have a big affect on gaming performance besides making load times shorter.

Best of luck, hope you get this sorted.

That is true, going the USB route is easier on the pocket. Since the distance is only 1.5 meters or so I'd recommend something simple like this little adapter that works with various operating systems.
