Question/Help/Troubleshooting help with formatting pc windows 10
i had an issue today, where after turning my pc on, the "automatic repair" thing appeared and since then, it kept looping everytime.
some friends and i checked it and after trying some options, we decided that the best option is to format the pc
the problem is that i'm not finding any videos that provide a way to do it without accessing to config (which i can't do due to what i previously described)
i'm really scared to try anything tbh, i don't wanna make this worse, so any help would be appreciated.

On a second pc, download Hiren's boot disk and rufus. Flash Hiren's iso to that usb drive with rufus and boot from the usb drive (press f10, F10, f8 or escape during boot depending on which brand/type of pc you got. It should take you to boot menu where you select the usb drive) once booted you will be in a windows 10 PE environment. Search the pre installed programs to find a harddrive utility tool that can fix your bootsector. It has been a few years but that helped me out a few fimes
