Will Clean install of Win 11 Pro solve f30 error?

My Elitebook 840 G5 is giving an f30 error. I have tried numerous solutions to fix the error, but, nothing has worked. You name it, I've tried it. I've gotten to the point to just do a clean install of Win 11. Would doing this solve the error?? Thanks in advance.

That is unlikely as a f30 means no bootable device.
So the SSD might have failed.

Here are the shortest steps to troubleshoot: from https://www.justanswer.co.uk/computer/tddwu-hp-elite-book-error-f30-i-ve-tried.html

1. Hard Reset:
   • Turn off the laptop, remove the AC adapter and battery (if possible), and disconnect all peripherals.
   • Press and hold the Power button for 15-30 seconds.
   • Reconnect and turn on the laptop.
2. Run Diagnostics:
   • Turn on the laptop and immediately press Esc, then F2 for System Diagnostics.
   • Run the Storage Quick Test. A failure suggests the hard drive is bad.
3. Restore BIOS Defaults:
   • Turn on the laptop and immediately press F10 to enter BIOS Setup.
   • Press F9 to load defaults, then F10 to save and exit.
     
     If none of these work, your hard drive/SSD is likely failed and needs to be replaced.

i found this that maybe of help

also can you create a bootable live Linux USB
this will not install anything to your computer
but will be able to see if the drive is seen by the operating system

if the drive is found then it looks like a reinstall of Windows
if the drive isnt found, then you may have found the problem
a live Linus bootable USB will at least give a check on the state of the drive.

best of luck Steve ..

SSD is detected in BIOS, First in boot order, passed UEFI Diagnostic test. Windows boots normally when legacy and secure boot supports are disabled. Get f30 error when starting Windows and secure boot support is enabled. Get Secure Boot screen "Image did not authenticate". So ssd is healthy.

No.

Garlin correctly diagnosed the error, and gave you advice you did not report back on...
