Hi all. Suddenly my Win 11 laptop became unresponsive, I couldn't even open Task Manager or the start menu. I had to force shut it down. Now the computer won't recognize the BIOS. I don’t have any data from other devices that I can recover, so I chose to try Windows recovery there. But I also ran into another issue. My only USB drive has only 7.2 GB of storage left, which isn’t enough to create a Windows recovery USB. I’m wondering if I can connect it to my working PC to fix the problem with the laptop and see if that helps. I’m struggling to find a good YouTube tutorial for this.

You're mistaken about the cost and reliability. An 8GB USB drive is available for much less than $10, and using one that's not very recent isn't advisable.
