I'm a lifetime computer user and software engineer with a half bricked laptop caused by Windows 11. Windows wanted me to create a Microsoft account and somehow me not doing that resulted in a boot loop. I installed Linux on it and work around the Windows partition. I did lose a lot of data that's technically accessible, but too lazy.
