Windows 10: Fixing system permissions with Windows 10 media creator tool?

I stupidly screwed up my system permissions by trying to change them globally for the whole C drive. Got lots of errors as soon as I tried to do it and then I couldn't copy anything anyhwere. Yes, I'm an idiot.

I tried a factory reset (the computer, a Lenovo Legion laptop, is only a month old) and that didn't work, still getting a "A required privilege is not held by the client" error 0x80070522 if I try to copy any files anywhere. My temporary fix has been to change User Account Control settings so admin permission is not required, which seems to be working. I'd like to get this fixed though. Would using the Win10 media creator tool and the "upgrade" option reset the permissions? Still can't figure out why a factory reset didn't work...

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

Try running the media creation tool again.

If that does not work, download the ISO file directly, create a bootable copy using Rufus:
