Corrupted Windows operating system
Hello! To start fresh, your operating system is damaged and won’t repair itself. You’ll need a clean installation on another drive. Consider using tools like Windows Recovery Environment or DiskPart to wipe the old OS and install a new one from a bootable USB. For formatting, consider EaseUS Partition Master or GParted. If the SSD is failing, check its health with CrystalDiskInfo and follow the manufacturer’s steps for replacement. Let me know if you need more details!
You shouldn't have to purchase a license again. If it's tied to your Microsoft account, you'll need to log in once more during the new setup and complete the reactivation process. (For Windows 10/11 installations...) If the SSD is malfunctioning, use an app like CrystalDiskInfo to check for errors and bad sectors. Capture a screenshot of the SMART table on that drive. Also, note your specifications and the operating system you're using.
