So I turned my PC on in the morning after putting it into sleep mode, I then proceeded to restart it because it wasn't opening my programs. After it restarted it sent me to the recovery page and it doesn't let me get out of it. I tried using my spare Windows 10 backup and that doesn't work either. Please help

When I type to convert it into a GPT it says it was successful, but then when I try to install windows onto it, it still says its a MBR file
Yes that's why you need to convert it to GPT. I have provided the steps above. Please follow it very carefully. Let me resend it.
In the same command prompt, type these commands one at a time.
diskpart
list disk
select disk 1 (Make sure to choose where it is showing your main Windows drive with 222 GB)
clean
convert gpt
exit
Close Command Prompt.
Thanks for trying that, Andrew. This usually means your user folders are either empty or corrupted.
In this case, we will no longer be able to recover anything but proceed with a clean install, which means all data in your device will be deleted. And you will be starting over.
You can proceed on the steps I have provided earlier to perform a clean install.
Once you're sure you're ready to move on
Open Command Prompt again from the setup screen (Shift + F10) and run
diskpart
list disk
select disk 1
clean
convert gpt
exit
Then close Command Prompt, click “Install Now,” choose the unallocated space, and click Next.
You're right at the finish line. And I appreciate your great effort on this.
All the best!
