@Awilli11_ , welcome to the Community.
I suggest trying the "System Restore" option to see if that helps. You want to remove the remnants of Win 11 from you drive.

Thank you for the additional information, @Awilli11_ !
This means that Win 10 has been completely deleted. You will have to make a USB drive to reinstall it. You can use this page: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-installation-media-for-windows-99a58364-8c02-206f...
If you don't have a backup of your personal data it will be lost and not retrievable.

I think "the computer ate my homework" is a good and truthful excuse!

No it does not mean that!
You don't have access to the folder Windows.old! That's it.
I would run the command prompt and type: bcdedit
Then you can check the bootentries.
What you see is that the system has access to the Windows Recovery partition.
Your data are not lost!
With the right commands you have full access to your personal files.
If you have important files on your system don't run a new setup!
