Hey, i tried to reset my laptop to factory settings and during the reset my laptop died. It was plugged in but the plug was broken so it wasnt actually charging. So when i boot it up i get this message:

An operating system wasnt found. Try disconnecting any drives that dont contain an oprrating system. Press ctrl+alt+del to restart

I do not own a cd copy of windows. Please help i have no idea what to do.

Is there any way i can somehow resume the process of factory resetting ?

the wonderful thing about windows 10 is... it is very very easy to make a disc or usb install drive. Simply google "windows media creation tool" go to microsoft, download the tool, and run it... follow the instructions to make a new install disc or usb installer. Click the option for 32 or 64 bit, disc or usb, and click "for another computer".... Another bonus to this rather than factory reset is... NO BLOATWARE
