Use Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE)

Access WinRE:

Boot from USB:

Install Windows 10:

• Follow the on-screen prompts to install Windows 10.
• During installation, choose Custom: Install Windows only (advanced) if you want a clean installation.

Ensure Sufficient Storage Space

The factory reset may fail if there's insufficient storage space.

Remove Unnecessary Files (if accessible):

• Delete unnecessary files if you can access Windows.

Cloud Storage:

• Use OneDrive or alternative cloud storage services to free up local storage.
