The trouble is when I enter my service tag it prompts me to comply with its license aggreement and then just gives me a small .exe file to run on the laptop I want to recover. But I have no OS on that laptop.. since I wiped all the partitions and can't install an OS on that laptop due to its incompatibility with Win 10, Arch, Ubuntu etc..

For some Windows problems, a clean install is the quickest solution. If your hard drive fails completely and you don't have a current backup image, it's the only solution. Accomplishing that task with the latest version of Windows 10 or Windows 11 is easy, thanks to the Media Creation Tool and a pretty simple activation process. (For details, see How to install, reinstall, upgrade and activate Windows 10.)

A better solution? Download a recovery image for your device directly from the OEM. That image typically includes all the drivers and utility programs that you would otherwise need to track down and install manually.

You're most likely to find a recovery image when you're working with a business PC (or high-end consumer device) from one of the top OEMs. Older devices, as well as low-priced consumer PCs, are less likely to qualify. That emphasis on business PCs also means the factory images are far more likely to be clean and free of annoying third-party software.
