Q: Macbook Pro 2013

I have searched everywhere, my fiance and I were warned the HDD was bad however we waited till the last moment and this morning I turned on the macbook and found this...

...... I have searched the internet from this site to google.. and found that it cant find the OS... I need a new hard drive and need to do a Clean Install of the OS X.... Where do I find a copy of the OS or if I take it into Apple for the Genus bar will they install the OS for free?

You should be able to download a fresh copy of the OS on a new drive since the software is attached to your Apple ID -

Apple will install an EXACT replacement SSD and it will not be FREE unless you MBP is still under an Apple Care program. Apple can install an OSX or you can use Internet recovery to install the original OSX that came with the MBP.

Ciao.
