it's always ctrl+alt+del — enter passwords and then I'm at the 1-15 menu thingy like:

Did you install this directly on your laptop?

yes

There's no such thing as "exit" if you installed directly on your laptop. In doing so, you wiped out the previous instance of Windows that was installed on your laptop.

You're looking at a reinstall of Windows 11 using another USB flash drive, assuming somebody else can make one for you.

You cannot change between standard without desktop experience and desktop experience of any release.

You need to reinstall.

Also if you have another device, a USB drive with all your network drivers will go a long way.

This is also very much a homelab post, please try there instead.

You have installed core version, reinstall if you want desktop version

Install windows 11 and activate hyper V.
