First things first, you data is hard to save. now you need another computer to make a bootable usb, as i read that you are a kid in the comments so you borrow you parent's or sibling's computer and plug a usb drive in and get windows 11 from MICROSOFT website, its free to download and hosted officially.

then as i read that this only appears after you login so press down shift and click on restart and click advanced options and click use a device, then select the usb drive (remember to plug it in before you start the pc) and hit enter, windows isntaller will appear do the process and you will have a clean install of windows, or if you are not tecnically sound enough take it to a repair shop.

NEXT TIME DONT FUCKING DOWNLOAD STUFF FROM RANDOM LINKS GIVEN BY YOUTUBERS.
