I recently did a factory reset on my Asus Rog Strix G16 from 2022, but now it's stuck in a loop that says "Preparing" and keeps restarting. What steps can I take to fix this issue?

It sounds like the factory reset didn’t go smoothly. A factory reset can sometimes lead to problems like this. To truly wipe your laptop clean and install Windows fresh, you should do a complete drive wipe followed by a new installation of Windows. This ensures everything is set up correctly.
I thought a factory reset was supposed to fix everything. Why does it end up causing issues?

Could you explain how to wipe the drive and install Windows? I'm a bit lost on that.
