virus - Can Windows reset save my computer?

I've gone through some kind of virus and malware apocalypse after downloading some stuff, and antiviruse programs fail to clean everything. What is worse, after deleting what seemed to me as some malware remnants, Microsoft Edge stopped working.

So I thought that the only way to recover my PC is a full Windows reset, but I don't have an installation disc nor restore point. I still can reset my PC, but I'm not sure if Edge will work again. I just don't want to end up with a clean computer without any access to the internet.

Does anyone know if resetting my PC will help?
