I'm trying to factory reset my new computer, but it's been stuck at 89% for hours now. I even left it overnight to see if it would finish, but no luck.

Are you sure you need to factory reset it? It should come pre-reset from the factory. If it's just a matter of wanting to declutter, there are ways to get rid of any manufacturer bloat without resetting.
If it's stuck and the standard options aren't working, try to boot from a USB and see if you can perform a fresh install that way. Make sure to backup your key before doing a complete reinstall.
It sounds like you might need to force restart your PC. Just turn it off completely and then turn it back on. If that doesn't work, you might want to try reinstalling the operating system from a USB drive.
Yeah, if it keeps getting stuck, a fresh install might be the way to go!
It's likely to get rid of the manufacturer bloat, which can be annoying.
