Hi,

You could create a bootable USB drive with the Windows 10 on it , on a different PC. You can do this directly from Microsoft.

There is an explanation on the Microsoft Page to create installation media. You can then use the drive to reinstall the OS on the PC. During installation choose custom install and delete all partitions. Install in unalocated space..

What you could do to greatly increase the everyday performance of the machine, would be to remove the Mechanical Hard Drive and install an M2 PCIe NVMe SSD. You could then install the OS on the new drive.
