Hey everyone! I recently got a gaming PC from a friend and I'm trying to wipe all the previous data. I've gone through a lot of troubleshooting steps like using command prompts, created a bootable USB stick to reinstall Windows 11, and checked the system info, but I keep getting a message that says "your PC/device needs to be repaired." I've explored all the options available, but I'm still stuck. When I press F8 to access repair options, I just get an error. Any advice?

Honestly, the built-in factory reset often messes things up worse. A clean install is definitely the way to go!
Have you actually used the USB with Windows 11 to reinstall? Make sure you choose the wipe and install option when prompted. That should clear everything out.
I’ve tried that! But after the installation, I end up right back where I started.
