The laptop was accidently closed during a system reinstall and was able to get to the tools for reinstalling, but the system will
not boot into windows, because not everything was installed due to stupid me closing the book by accident.
I'm currently in Administrator X cmd.exe and the commands laughing at me.
How do I get the files to completely install from my hard drive?
This is where I'm at now:

chkdsk is only going to repair bad sectors it's not going to help in this situation.
You're going to need to reinstall Windows.

Can you tell me how? I was able to shut down, so I can sleep. How do you install Windows when you are stuck?!? Isn't there commands I can use in cmd.exe to continue installing Windows? And if so, can you guide me in the right direction please?

No commands, you'll need to create a bootable media on another computer, boot to that media and install.
