Good day from Singapore,

I have just bought a refurbished HP Elitebook 840 G1 laptop on 30 Dec 
2020. The seller had installed a fresh new copy of Windows 10 Pro 
version 1803 for me. When I went home, I formatted the laptop and 
installed Windows 10 Pro version 20H2.

Within a few minutes, my laptop will freeze. I always get BSOD with 
Inaccessible Boot Device error whenever I tried to reboot my laptop.

I think the problem is documented. Please refer to the following 
discussion thread.

Topic: Inaccessible Boot Device Windows 10

I have yet to read the above discussion thread carefully.

After hitting the wall with Windows 10 Pro version 20H2, I formatted my 
laptop again. This time I installed Windows 10 Pro version 1809 instead. 
The same thing happened again. My laptop would freeze after some Windows 
Updates. Then I would get BSOD with Inaccessible Boot Device error 
whenever I tried to restart my laptop.

It seems that the problem has nothing to do with my harddisk at all. I 
realize that I will get the problem after some Windows Update, which 
causes the BSOD with Inaccessible Boot Device error.

Recognising that my refurbished laptop could not run Windows 10 at all, 
I downloaded and installed Fedora Workstation 33 Linux.

For the past few days, my refurbished laptop with Fedora Workstation 33 
Linux has been working well without any problems. This confirmed that my 
harddisk does not have any issues because harddisk tests (SMART and 
Short Drive Self Test) confirmed that my harddisk is in working 
condition.

I am very happy and satisfied using Fedora Workstation 33 Linux on my 
refurbished laptop.
