Chapter 8. Recovery information

This chapter provides information about the Windows recovery solutions on the Windows 10 operating
system.

Resetting your computer

If your computer does not perform well, you might consider resetting your computer. In the resetting process,
you can choose to keep your files or remove them, and then reinstall the Windows operating system.

To reset your computer, do the following:

Note:

The items in the graphical user interface (GUI) might change without notice.

1. Open the Start menu, and then click

Settings

Update & security

➙

Recovery

.

2. In the

Reset this PC

section, click

Get started

.

3. Follow the instructions on the screen to reset your computer.

Using advanced startup options

The advanced startup options enable you to do the following:

• Change the firmware settings of the computer

• Change the startup settings of the Windows operating system

• Start the computer from an external device

• Restore the Windows operating system from a system image

To use advanced startup options, do the following:

Note:

The items in the graphical user interface (GUI) might change without notice.

1. Open the Start menu, and then click

.

3. Select a startup option you want, and then follow the instructions on the screen.

Recovering your operating system if Windows 10 fails to start

The Windows recovery environment on your computer operates independently from the Windows 10
operating system. It enables you to recover or repair the operating system even if the Windows 10 operating
system fails to start.

After two consecutive failed boot attempts, the Windows recovery environment starts automatically. Then
you can choose repair and recovery options by following the on-screen instructions.

Note:

Ensure that your computer is connected to ac power during the recovery process.

Creating and using a recovery USB drive

You can create a recovery USB drive as a backup for the Windows recovery programs. With the recovery
USB drive, you can troubleshoot and fix the problems even if the preinstalled Windows recovery programs
are damaged.
