I tried to install a fresh window on my laptop, but my computer won't let me format the emmc storage that's on the computer. I tried cleaning it through CMD, but it does nothing. Initially, my computer received a bluescreen error with the sad face, I proceeded to restart my computer and now it says system updating, but it's been stuck at 19% for 2 days now.

 

I thought a clean install would just fix the problem, but I cannot install a fresh window on it because I can't format the storage or delete any partition that shows up. Is my computer dead? should I use it for target practice at this point? I'm not sure what to do anymore.

 

Thanks for any feedbacks!
