I encountered an issue with the Windows bootloader after installing Parrot OS. I made an error during installation since I can't dual boot into Windows, and the Windows installer won't boot from the USB.

Do you have backups ready for restoration?

Unfortunately, this was a major mistake on my end.

Obtain a Windows installer and attempt a bootup fix; otherwise, manual steps are required.

The system refuses to start from the USB drive containing the installer.

Parrot OS functions smoothly. Can you try using the Windows Repair Tool to fix the issue?

Are they on the same storage device or different ones?

They're on the same storage device. I don't mind risking Parrot OS since everything is on Windows, and I don't have another drive available for backup.

Your system runs on BIOS or EFI?

This instruction overlooks the content... You'll need a boot disc or USB to get started. Refer to the Dell support page for details on repairing the EFI bootloader on your GPT HDD for Windows 7, 8, and 10. After booting from your drive, follow the Repair Your Computer section in the guide, skipping the Dell-specific diagnostic sections.
