I recently formatted my Windows laptop to give it to my brother, but now it's just stuck on the manufacturer's logo with a spinning wheel for hours. I really need to fix this, as my brother depends on having a working computer right now, and we can't afford to buy a new one. I was confident that restoring it to factory settings would work, especially since it was fine before. Any ideas on what to do?

It’s possible that the factory restore partition has become corrupted over time. Which version of Windows did your laptop originally come with? Windows 7, 8, 10, or 11? Knowing this could help troubleshoot further.
You might want to try reinstalling Windows via a USB stick. It’s often a straightforward way to reset your system. Just plug it in and follow the on-screen instructions.
Sometimes you just need to wait it out. If it's an older model, it might take a while to get through the boot process. I suggest giving it a few hours, just in case it’s working in the background.
