Uhh, yeah, probably screwed your OS install, if you interrupted the Windows Reset process.

If you're running Windows 10, then, using a DIFFERENT PC, use the Microsoft Windows 10 Media Creation Tool, to make an install USB for the version of Windows 10 on your PC, then plug it in, go into your BIOS, and either select the boot device menu, and select the UEFI USB stick, or change the boot order.

Note, that many OEM laptops come pre-configured with both Secure Boot and Fast Boot ENABLED.

That means, that you are unlikely to be able to access your UEFI setup menu with a keyboard hotkey when booting, and you'll probably have to actually physically pull the boot drive, in order to access the UEFI.

Lenovo laptops have a special small recessed button, that functions as BOTH a power-on, and a UEFI-access button. Shut your laptop down, and press that button to power-on into the UEFI setup menu.

I am guessing you did not make/burn the backup and restore discs when you first brought it home and it prompted you to make them, correct? If you did make them, then push the button in the picture and choose system recovery.

If you did not make them as I suspect, go to the following link and follow directions for ordering it on disc or USB. https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht500587

Once you have the recovery media, and choose the system recovery function, it will walk you through the process of restoring the system.

I don't know about the IdeaPad 100, but my IdeaPad 100S has the Lenovo recovery button on the top, above and to the left of the keyboard, next to the bigger power button. It's a very tiny little thing.

I'm sorry, but I don't think that you seem to have the technical skills necessary to re-install the OS and drivers, etc., if you can't even find the "Novo Button" on your Lenovo Laptop. I'm almost certain that you have one.

By Recovery button, do you mean the blue button in the top part of the keyboard?
