Reparing windows 10 boot files

[Commandhat]

So all I did yesterday was watching a video on YouTube, decided to plug in my phone to charge, and boom. The OS crashes. I can't comprehend the fact that my iPhone crashed and destroyed windows 10. It was refusing to boot and I had some really REALLY weird artifacting if it did, it wouldn't even display errors correctly. at one point it looked like my computer was on LSD. I have restored multiple times, done everyhting I possibly could except reinstall from scratch because I do not have a windows 10 copy and I upgraded from windows 8.1, I've already reinstalled multiple times due to other issues with windows 10, so I've used up my product key limit already (which was 3 times). I had kept file history on to backup my data, of course it's not an image so I don't exactly know how to restore from that. I also assume at this point it's backed up all the corrupted files of windows itself so I assume I've lost everything at this point. Today after several restarts it booted, that's how I am writing this. My question is, is there anyway for me to repair windows without actually reinstalling. I don't want to buy another copy of windows.

 

Here is my PC on LSD:

your best bet is to do a clean install. You will NOT have to buy windows again if you reinstall, just use a bootable USB and the OS will automatically activate when it detects your system

How exactly do I make a bootable USB without having to buy a new product key. And what about all my Data?

Make a bootable USB by using the Media Creation Tool located here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/software-download/windows10

 

As for your data try copying your most important stuff off the computer while it is still running or else you might lose it if you cannot get back into the system

If you restored it I assume that is a system restore? try doing a reset keeping files.
