Failed to start MSI PC after system image restore
I had a fresh Windows 11 install on a new SSD, then I did a system image restore after which took a while, my PC failed to start and gave me a blue screen with a message that something went wrong. Now I can't use my PC, the recovery drive on my USB does not work and gives me an error saying there was a problem with recovery. I formatted the SSD from the command prompt in the troubleshooting section. Please help, what do I do?

I haven't tried any of those links. At this point I just want to be able to use my new SSD again, but the only problem preventing me from doing so is Windows failing to recover, "There was a problem recovering your PC." it gives this exact message, which is odd since when I first installed the SSD and used the recovery drive it worked fine until I used AOMEI system restore. I formatted the SSD from command prompt and tried doing recovery again but it gave me the same error. I don't care about recovering my data anymore, I just want to be able to use my new SSD. Do you think if I used Window's default system image backup (and restored it from the troubleshooting section) instead of attempting to use the recovery drive, that it will work? like, would it overwrite whatever problem is causing the recovery drive to not work?
This will make an exact, bootable copy of your old SSD onto the new one. Then just swap out your old SSD and replace it with the new one and you should be fine.
I use this strategy every month to make a clone of my computer's SSD which I can use to replace it if the installed SSD crashes
