So I reset my PC on Windows 10 and when it was done resseting it said "Operating System not found... Cntrl + Alt + Enter to reset"

So I looked up on how to fix it because Im not the best with computers and it said I had to enter BIOS. I tried entering it but every key on my keyboard wouldnt let me enter it..

I cant go on to Windows so I cant get it to work. I have a Dell OptiPlex 7010 with a Wired Keyboard Intel core i5. I downloaded Windows 10 onto a CD. If someone can help me thatd be amazing thank you.
