Hi

So I created a partition from my local disk D ( it is not an external hard drive, a pre installed HDD) , and extracted Windows 8.1 ISO to the partition and then set it as active, however after restarting the laptop, I got this screen:

when I press ctrl+Alt+Del I get this screen again. Of course, I did a lot of surfing to resolve this issue and all of them include changing settings in BIOS but my BIOS screen is a 100% different from all the ones on youtube. Here's how it is:

I can't buy a USB, BLANK MEDIA, or Windows installation disk at the time in any way at all and even if I do, my weird BIOS menu will be hard to manage to boot the USB OR DVD, is there any way at all of how I can boot my PC normally again and be able to install Windows 8.1 64 bit without facing such or any other issuse/error?

Thank you
