I accidentally Installed windows server 2012 r2 in my laptop without a vm ware and it restarted my laptop. When my laptop opened, A new administrator open and ask me to create a new administrator password then when i enter it and log in, only a command prompt is on the screen that says Administrator c windows system32 cmd.exe and inside the prompt is c users administrator. And everything is black without a cursor.
What should i do to get it back to my old windows 10.
Please Help. I really need to use my laptop in online class. Can someone help me

    Looks like a core install. You can try to convert core to GUI but note it didn't work well so for 2016 and newer OSs this option to convert is no longer available.

    To reinstall windows 10 boot from the install media, delete / recreate partition(s) follow the prompts.
