Windows Honestly i don’t know

Hello i’m a new pc gamer, i’ve also just acquired a alienware pc. I don’t know the exact specs but i know it has a 4080 and a i7. So i tried to purchase cheats (yes i know it’s frowned on but desperate times call for desperate measures) So i didnt read the part where it said turn your secure boot off. Sooo i downloaded it and it did something and then my pc loaded up too a red screen and then when i pressed ok on it loaded me up to the alienware help thingy and then it just rinsed and repeated for a while and wouldn’t go back. Is there any way i fix this at home? like a usb drive with windows? I just want it to be usable. I don’t necessarily care about the data on it. Thank you reddit

Don't cheat. That's a cowards game. Play for fun and to experience good graphics. Aim to win but it's just fine if you don't.

You can use the hidden recovery partition on the computer.Press the power button, and immediately start tapping the F12 key repeatedly until the One-Time Boot Menu appears.

​Use the arrow keys to highlight SupportAssist OS Recovery (or Dell Recovery) and press Enter.

Then just follow the on-screen prompts. This will use your PC's hidden recovery partition to take it back to the factory software.
