I'm in a bit of a bind here with my laptop. It's completely stuck in the BIOS and no matter what I've tried over the last couple of days, I can't seem to access the Windows recovery options. All I really want is to reset the PC and start fresh. Is there any way around needing that recovery screen to do a factory reset? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Have you thought about making a Windows installation USB? You could boot from it and potentially reset or reinstall Windows that way. It's a common fix for situations like yours!
Just a heads up, if the OS isn't booting, it might be a sign that you need to check the system drive too. If it's failing, that could be part of the problem with getting to recovery.
Right, but let’s see if the USB method works first. You might find out everything's fine once you get into the USB!
Thanks for the suggestion! I'm away from the laptop right now, but I'll definitely give that a shot when I'm back. I'll update you with what happens!
