"recently bought it from a local shop" - warranty? or try HP support..
https://support.hp.com/us-en/products/laptops ...they have good diagnostics
Otherwise, I would try to confirm in Device Manager that the webcam registered as error free, I might uninstall it and reboot to see if it would be properly installed on the system restart. Then I might find another webcam software and test use on webcam in that. https://www.howtogeek.com/234786/how-to-take-photos-and-record-videos-with-your-computers-webcam/

I'm not sure if your webcam on your laptop is busted or not but I suggest by reading this throughly.

If none of that works and you still want to do skype calls, step up and buy a better webcam for it.

It appears that some of the missing drivers in Windows 10 Technical Preview are drivers for certain webcams. Luckily, you can use your old Windows 8.1 drivers, and your webcam should work normally again. You just have to go to your webcam manufacturer and download necessary drivers for Windows 8.1 that are compatible with your webcam.
I hope by now your problem is resolved
