I would generally avoid using the built in reset function in favor of a clean install, unless you have specific reasons not to do a clean install

#

But I’m inexperienced at other forms so Is there a way to fix if I know my stuff for my pc

#

my concern is that the built in reset function can cause issues or exacerbate existing ones

I don’t have a usb

#

Will it still work

#

for a clean install you do need some kind of external media

no one you can borrow a USB from?

#

No

#

I’m alr on windows 11 but it’s not letting me install it

#

while my primary suggestion would be to try and source a USB, you can try the usual windows troubleshooting like DISM and SFC to see if that makes any different on the built in reset

System File Checker / SFC

This utility scans the system for corruption in the system files which may be responsible for irregular operating system behaviour. For more information, check this page (written by Microsoft).

Use DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth if SFC fails to properly fix the problem.
