Ok guys, so far, you are COMPLETELY USELESS!! But... I am giving you one last chance....
Let me tell the story...
"Once upon a time, I dual booted 2 OS' for the first time; Windows 11, and Pop!OS_. It was going great, until I realized, my bios isn't booting! Oh no! I deleted Pop!OS, and yet, it still isn't fixed!
How shall I recover from this event of madness..."
And yes, I reset windows, that did nothing but make me lose some stuff.
My laptop is an SF114-33, and the BIOS version is 1.05
If I get no correct answer, you know the rules, and so do I...

    As you will find by doing some searches here, Pop!_OS is really nasty when it reconfigures things for booting. It is possible to still get into the BIOS, but it's more a matter of being lucky with the timing than anything else.

    First "AlexSucks" your tone is pretty poor also, as all community members are here to help each other and allot of issues are just not magically fixed by pressing and/or doing things that a consumer can fix or do, as allot of PC issues are complex and need an experienced technician to analyse and test and replace appropriate parts if these parts are available or the mobo can be fixed? So please appreciate that first as this community is not Acer direct as we are a community dealing in Acer issues to help each other out! And what does this mean "If I get no correct answer, you know the rules, and so do I...??? Are you kidding us or just having a laugh??? :D 

    Now, losing the bios could be because of allot of issues like a frozen bios chip, a frozen Super IO chip and many other issues and also what billsey has suggested above, so look that up also but, what I would suggest is that you do this first, unscrew the 11 screws of the back cover and take the back cover off so that you have access to the main battery and the bios battery, disconnect these batteries for about 15 min and then reconnect both and reboot the laptop and see if your bios comes back and the laptop boots with access to the bios? If not then there are other issues within the bios or the Super IO or other chips with your laptop as you must have done something to damage this laptop, don't blame others! The only way to fix your laptop is NOT BY YOU but to take your Acer SF114-33 to Acer Tech Support or an experienced technician so that they can pin point and test your laptop (as they have the appropriate experience and tools) to fix/replace the exact issues and replace those chips and parts for your laptop to work. Be nice as we are all here to help each other :D

    The key to getting things back to normal is the complete removal and de-configuration of Pop!_OS, which is not a trivial matter... :(
