My windows 10 factory reset is stuck at 5%

i know everyone says it will take a while but it has been 2.5 hours since it became 5%

i don't want to go ahead and buy a new windows copy and sit for 5 hours and install it please give me ANYTHING else that i can do to fix it i can wait if you tell me it's gonna take a while. i can restart it if i must and i can go ahead and boot bios but i won't spend 50usd on a windows copy which in 100% of the cases will do the same. i'm literally on the verge of suicide since my computer has been acting weird for months and now this.
