This is basically how I got started too, but worse lol. Mine was just w10 wouldn’t make it past the “pin” screen, just blackness, tried to let it load for 24hr and it never did, so instead of even trying recovery I just rescued my files with a live usb of fedora (mounted that drive and bypassed the pin no less, who knew) and once I was done just installed fedora. Never looked back, it physically pains me when I have to use windows at work.
