    Hi natasha, welcome in community

    I'm Alvise, an independent consultant and i'm eager to support you today

    Do you have the option to use another computer? From there, you can easily create a Windows flash drive so that you can proceed with the reinstallation of the system.

    You can then download the appropriate drivers for your hardware by providing here the exact model of your laptop.

    Let me know

    Elvis
