Detailed explanation-1: -What does Hamlet say will show Horatio’s true friendship to him? Fortinbras has his endorsement to be the ruler.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hamlet has such confidence in Horatio’s friendship, that he confides in him his deepest secret: his plan to murder his uncle. Keeping this secret is a true testament, or proof, that Horatio is a loyal friend because Hamlet’s uncle is also the new king of Denmark, and keeping such a secret could get him killed.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hamlet tells horatio to let his story live because he knows that he is about to die and his story is one that can be related to. I believe Hamlet asks Horatio to tell his story because he wants people to know the real story. He wants a legacy of him especially to be left behind, and he doesn’t want to be forgotten.
Detailed explanation-4: -When Hamlet finally does die, Horatio is holding him, and gives him a farewell of infinite tenderness: ‘Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince, / And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest’ (5.2. 397-98).
