Deleted windows system32 and pc won't boot

[Emily180]

I deleted windows system32 because I thought someone was hacking into my computer. (I know, dumb)

I did research and found out I wasn't supposed to deleted it. Now my pc won't reboot. Past the cchoops and option page where trouble shooting is. How do I get it back and my pc working again?

Hi @Emily180 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I understand that you deleted system 32 and now pc won't boot, I am glad to assist you.

If your computer won't turn on due to missing files in System32, the only thing you can do is to reinstall Windows. 

In this process there is no guarantee of the files on your computer, you PC will go back to factory settings and the data will be deleted.
