Without the full specs I'm afraid we can't be of any help, it's the only way to verify the full system specs and also that it's a PCS system as these forums are closed to PCS customers.
It's the first thing you'll be asked for each time on this forum, so you'll always need that account.
You will need to do a full clean install especially if there was some sort of virus, you'll need a USB drive (of at least 8GB in size)
You can download the installation media from here onto a USB drive: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 (if its Win11 I'm sure there is a similar link for Win11)
This video may help explain some of the details how to do it:
You will need to delete all partitions during the process - but hopefully that video and link should get you going

Clean install for W11
Download a new copy of Windows using the Media Creation Tool (Second option on linked page) to an 8GB (min) USB.
Boot that USB and choose a Custom Install.
Delete all UEFI partitions on the system drive (EFI System, Recovery, MSR Reserved, Primary).
Select the unallocated space that results and click the Next button. The installer will create the correct partitions and install Windows.
Run Windows Update repeatedly, even across reboots, until no more updates are found.
You may need/want to download and install the latest graphics driver from the Nvidia/AMD website (they change so regularly the latest version isn't always in the Windows libraries).
This is also worth a watch
