Windows 10: Unable to access Windows after installed Linux Mint

HelloSo I installed Linux Mint on my laptop alongside Windows 11. Initially it was working well but I noticed that the Root drive for Linux was already full and I couldn't resize it. So I decide to unistall it and reinstall with bigher margins of space in all Linux partitions. Thisis where I messed something up. I accidentally deleted Windows boot files partition and immediately received Boot Device missing error upon restarting my computer. I figured I could create a bootable windows installation USB through Linux, so reinstalled Linux, created a bootable Windows device but somehow it is not

unable to install windows 10 on linux mint

Okay so it's getting late and I won't be able to try half of the things you suggested, but I have few discoveries I want to add.

I tried to install windows 10 on the ssd with another laptop which succeeded and it worked okay with that other laptop. What I tried was to add this preinstalled ssd on the linux laptop and try boot it from there. It didn't initially succeed, but activating legacy mode on bios made it that the windows actually booted and I managed to even login. Thing is it will usually in under a minute shut down immediately without any errors. Weirdly enough this doesn't seem to happen with the hdd that already had linux mint installed.

So in short I'm able to boot windows on preinstalled ssd, but it always eventually crashes. Same thing with windows installation usb, but for some reason it won't happen with the linux mint hdd.

One thing to note is also that trying to use windows stuff whether it's the usb or the preinstalled hdd is that the fans of the laptop goes to full power and it kinda feels like it will shut down because of overheating, but thats just a hunch and I need to investigate it more tomorrow.
