Hello,
My computer has been restarting in a loop ever since I tried to update Windows (I can't remember which update it was). The screen says "Restoring previous version of Windows" and keeps looping. I can access the BIOS. This situation has never happened to me, and since I'm not good with computers, I really don't know what to do... I've read that I could try reinstalling Windows. How exactly can I proceed? Do you have any other ideas? I'm completely lost. Thank you in advance for your answers!

Hello,
Start with the advanced system recovery options using method 1 from this page: Windows Advanced Recovery Options.
The idea is to restart on the page where you're asked for the password, with the icon at the bottom right and by holding the shift key.
If you do NOT reach the window where Windows asks for passwords, due to freezing or crashing beforehand...
Turn off the computer twice during the Windows loading.
It will enter repair mode which will also give access to the advanced system recovery options.
(If booting into the advanced recovery options is impossible, you need to create a USB drive to boot from, there's a link on the previous page for that).
From the Troubleshoot menu, you can then attempt to downgrade or reset.
If impossible:
Reinstall Windows 10 from an installation media.
Follow this tutorial that explains how to install Windows 10: how to install Windows 10.
All steps are provided from A to Z with tips at the end for securing Windows 10.
The steps are roughly:
If the USB drive does not work, try making another one with Rufus: how to download Rufus - see this tutorial for details: how to create a Windows installation USB drive
Just don't format.
Your user data will be copied into the Windows.old folder.
Once Windows is installed, I advise you to follow these tips to properly configure and use Windows: Tips after reinstalling Windows.
