I accidentally deleted a registry key and some files associated with it. After restarting my computer, I encountered a blue screen that prompted some sort of recovery. I created a Windows media USB and used it to recover the system, but now, when I try to boot without the USB, I get a black screen with 'Operating System Not Found.' When I plugged the USB back in, I reached the Windows installation screen but ran into issues while trying to access the command prompt. Some commands I tried didn't work, and I'm feeling lost. Should I take it to a repair shop, or is there a way to fix this myself?

If you can get into Windows or even Safe Mode, look for crash logs in the C:WindowsMinidump folder. If you find any dump files, zip them up and upload them to a file-sharing site like mediafire.com or catbox.moe. This will help in diagnosing the issue further. If you’re not able to access Windows, you might be looking at a reinstall instead.
It might be simpler to just do a clean installation using the USB. If you're unsure about what was deleted, it’s hard for anyone else to guess. Boot from the Windows installer, remove existing partitions, and go for a fresh install. Just make sure you've backed up all your important files first, like documents and photos.
