If you have a Windows 10 USB or disk, I would insert it and follow the instructions.

If you do not have one and if you have access to another PC, download a Windows 10 image using the Windows Media Creation tool from: https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10

After the download is complete, either burn the image to a DVD or use rufus to create a bootable Windows 10 USB. After that, you would put this USB or DVD in the machine at startup. This would give you options to repair your PC.
