When you say format... are you talking about reinstalling windows?
Do you have a boot USB?

I think this is your best bet

Download a new copy of Windows using the Media Creation Tool to an 8GB (min) USB.
Boot that USB and choose a Custom Install.
Delete all UEFI partitions on the system drive (EFI System, Recovery, MSR Reserved, Primary).
Select the unallocated space that results and click the Next button. The installer will create the correct partitions and install Windows.
Run Windows Update repeatedly, even across reboots, until no more updates are found.
You may need/want to download and install the latest graphics driver from the Nvidia website (they change so regularly the latest version isn't always in the Windows libraries).

The installation tool will wipe everything on the drive you are using, so whilst it might work from an external USB hard drive, if you have anything on said hard drive you'd need to store it elsewhere first.

Yes, you would have to set it in the boot up options to boot from an external drive still.

And as mentioned, it'll wipe everything on it. Best bet is to just buy a USB, they're pretty cheap and its useful to have, for times just like now!
