The laptop gave me an option to reset the laptop because of some threats so I resetted everything on my laptop but accidentally my operating system was also deleted . Now the laptop starts and black screen comes and a message is displayed that "An operating system wasn't found . Try disconnecting any drives that don't contain an Operating System . 

Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart ." So please help me to restore my operating system . I am giving this message through a mobile . Please reply .

    Hi Dr, you can reinstall Windows 10 at any time and it will not cost you anything !

    You will need to create Windows 10 installation media on another PC . . .

    Since you previously had Windows 10 installed and activated on that PC during the installation process skip the steps which ask for a product key and select the option 'I am Reinstalling Windows 10 on this PC', and activation will not be an issue, your PC will have a digital entitlement stored on the Microsoft Activation Servers

    Make sure you install the same Edition of Windows 10 (Home, Pro . . . etc.) you previously had installed to avoid Activation issues

    Click this link:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

    to download the Media Creation Tool (Click on Download Tool Now), with that you can download the latest Windows 10 ISO (Select Create Installation Media for Another PC), you can create a bootable USB flash drive (min 8GB) using that tool

    Then, Boot your PC from the Installation Media you just created (change Boot Order in your BIOS) to begin installing Windows 10

    If you have problems booting from a boot disc, you may have UEFI BIOS:

    Insert the Bootable Installation Media, then go into your BIOS and make the following changes:

    1. Disable Secure Boot
    2. Enable Legacy Boot
    3. If Available enable CSM
    4. If Required enable USB Boot
    5. Move the device with the bootable disc to the top of the boot order
    6. Save BIOS changes, restart your System and it should boot from the Installation Media

    Hi.

    So I recommend borrowing a computer to create a USB to repair Windows.
