Windows 10: loop problem in "choose operating system"

i decided to reset my laptop since it was performing slowly and only chose the option to delete the apps and not my files. now I'm stuck in a "choose your operating system" loop. both options are the same which is "windows 10, volume 3" and when i click one of them, it restarts and shows the same thing. any ideas how to fix this problem? i also bought a flash drive so that i could install windows 10 from another laptop and transfer it to the flash drive but the option to install windows from usb flash drive is gone.

Windows 'Choose an operating system' loop

I recently reset my Windows 10 laptop, and all went fine, until it hit the 'Choose an operating system' page. It keeps on looping, and there are two of the same operating systems- Windows 10 on volume 3. How do I stop this and continue?
