McAfee install failed on Windows 10

I tried to install McAfee on my HP Envy laptop which runs on Windows 10 [8] [21]. It rebooted a couple times. The last reboot said installing previous version of windows. It then tried to self repair and failed. I am now locked into the repair screen. I have no recovery discs. The laptop did not come with any.

Power on and off your computer three times
On the third time, your computer will boot into the Advanced Recovery environment
Click Advanced Options
Click Troubleshoot
Click Advanced Options

Click System Restore, see if you can go back to an earlier time.

If not, boot into the recovery environment again, then try a startup repair.

If that does not work, boot into the recovery environment, then click 'Go back to previous version of Windows'

If that does not work.

Go to a working computer, download, create a bootable copy, then perform a clean install.
