Product: HP Laptop 15-bs0xx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello! So I was messing around with my laptop today and out of curiosity, I marked a partition as active. The laptop got restarted then and I realized it wouldn't boot because the partition I marked as active didn't have an operating system in it.

I used the Media Creation Tool on a USB drive and booted the laptop from it, I tried repairing it using command prompt using diskpart to mark the partition I suspected to have the OS as active, but none of them worked. Finally, I tried re-installing Windows while keeping files since I have no way to recover them and it wouldn't work.

After a while the error I got after turning the laptop on changed, it now says: "Boot Device Not Found, Please install an operating system on your hard disk. Hard Disk (3F0). F2  System Diagnostics".

What can I do to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

Nevermind! I fixed it somehow by booting it after setting Legacy Boot to Enabled.
