Windows 10: Critical Error, can't use my PC

Hi,

Today i was messing around and accidentally downloaded an unwanted virus, I checked how to remove it, and ended up deleting the SysWOW64 folder in regedit by accident.

Now every time when i try to boot up my PC, it goes into the blue screen of death with an error "CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED", I checked for hours on how to fix it, so far there have been no luck.

I tried every option, from typing commands to trying to boot into safe mode.

I can't even boot into safe mode since it also shows the blue screen of death,

I tried reinstalling windows through an USB drive, all I get is infinite text of "Loading operating system..."

Is there any other thing i can do, or is it time to say goodbye to my PC?

Thanks for reading.

:)
