Deleted my EFI & MSR partitions by error, how to rebuild it?

$

I accidentally deleted every single partition of my computer except the one that Windows is installed on it. I thought it was a good idea. But it was not.

I have no more MSR or EFI partition, so when I boot it gives an error. I have two disks, one remained untouched and the other disk has Windows on it and had MSR and EFI partitions.

Is there is a way to rebuild those ? There's no problem if it takes time or something; it's not my main computer. I just don't wanna lose the data that are on all thepartitions. (since I only deleted partitions where I thought there nothing)

WHAT I'VE TRIED:

  • Boot into Windows (Tiny10, actually) installation media
  • Get a CMD working by Shift+F10
  • Run some bootrec commands I got from the web

  • Boot into Linux (MX Linux exactly) live media
  • Run GParted
  • Recreate a partition in FAT32/FAT16 (I tried both) with flags ESD

  • Install a new Linux system on a second partition (didn't worked as the EFI partition is gone)

Thanks in advance.

Similar question (if not the same): windows efi and system reserved partition mistakenly deleted (posting this to hope there's a solution with no reset)

Also, I don't much care if I can no longer use Windows
