Laptop from 2019 and a 32-Bit sytem? I can't believe that.
Press F1 and check if you can enter the Recovery environment.
If it's possible go to advanced and command prompt
Here you type
diskpart
list disk
How many disks do you have? 1 or 2
(Is there a star (*) in the right column (GPT)? That means UEFI if there is no (*) you run in BIOS mode
For UEFI-Mode only!
sel disk 0 (if 0 is your system disk)
list par
Is the Partition 1 the system partition?
If yes (and I mean yes!!!!)
type
sel par 1
format quick fs=fat32 label="System"
assign letter="B"
list vol
exit
If Windows from above "list vol" is "C" , then type
bcdboot c:\Windows /l en-US /s B: /f UEFI
exit
You are ready
If you can't access the Recovery environment you need a "Media Creation Tool" (download Microsoft) and prepare a USB-Boot-Disk.
Boot from the USB and at the first Window (language Country setting) press
Shift + F10
in the command prompt
type
diskpart
... see the above steps
