Hello,
I have a Lenovo Legion laptop and I have a small problem. After encountering some issues, I decided to reset the PC, but it got stuck for over 5 hours at 48%. So, I stopped the reinstallation, and when I try to start it, this message appears
Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows, restart the installation.
And I don't know what to do (I'm terrible with computers)
Thank you for helping me, I'm really desperate...

Hello,
Reinstall Windows 10 without formatting:
The principle is to create a Windows 10 installation USB drive and boot the computer from it to reinstall Windows without formatting in order to keep the data.
Since the computer is frozen, you need to create this from another functional computer.
To create the USB drive:
You need a USB drive of at least 8 GB.
If the USB drive doesn’t work, try making one again with Rufus: how to download Rufus.
Download the ISO file, for example with Adguard: Download Windows ISO
Launch Rufus and then specify the path of the ISO file
In the partition scheme, choose GPT.
For more details, refer to this tutorial for details: how to create a Windows installation USB drive
The Windows 10 installer should then start:
Follow this tutorial that explains how to install Windows 10: how to install Windows 10.
All steps are given from A to Z with tips at the end to secure Windows 10.
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.
