HP 15s data recovery
We recover files from all 3 HP 15s models (sold 2019–2024), including the 15s-du, 15s-eq and 15s-fq, at our London SE1 lab. They have an NVMe M.2 SSD. Common causes of data loss are a failed drive, liquid, drops and accidental deletion.
Where your files are
The HP 15s stores everything on an NVMe M.2 SSD. Windows 11 laptops like this usually have device encryption or BitLocker switched on, so have your Microsoft account ready: the recovery key is stored there.
This series comes in 15.6-inch versions; the size is part of the model number. The 15s is the European version of the HP 15, sold in UK shops.

What’s wrong with it?
| What it is doing | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| Laptop starts, then “no bootable device” | The SSD has stopped responding: controller or firmware failure. The data is usually still in the flash chips. |
| BitLocker recovery screen | Find the recovery key in your Microsoft account before anything else. |
| Liquid spilled on it | Switch off and unplug the charger. Corrosion on the SSD or board can be repaired. |
| Blue screens, then nothing | Often a failing SSD. Stop using it. |
| Files deleted | TRIM may already have erased them. Switch off straight away. |
Switch it off. Don’t keep restarting a laptop that clicks, freezes or won’t start, and don’t reset Windows.
Questions about the HP 15s
Which HP 15s models do you recover?
All of them, including the 15s-du, 15s-eq, 15s-fq. If your exact model isn’t listed, we still recover it.
Can you recover data from an HP 15s that won’t turn on?
Usually, yes. These laptops have an NVMe M.2 SSD, which we can take out and recover even if the laptop itself is dead.
Is my data encrypted?
Possibly. Many Windows 10 and 11 laptops switch on device encryption or BitLocker automatically. The recovery key is saved in your Microsoft account at aka.ms/myrecoverykey. With the key, encryption doesn’t stop the recovery.
How long does it take?
Most logical recoveries take two to four working days. Drives that need cleanroom work or board repair take longer, and we can prioritise urgent jobs.
The first consultation is free and you get a fixed price before any work: see data recovery prices (with a price calculator) and how it works. No data, no recovery fee.
