Windows automatic recovery
Note:
Ensure that your computer is connected to ac power during the recovery process.
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.
Create and use a recovery USB device
It is recommended that you create a recovery USB drive as early as possible 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. If you did not create a recovery USB drive as a
precautionary measure, you can contact Lenovo Customer Support Center and purchase one from Lenovo.

Create a recovery USB drive
Attention:
The creation process deletes anything stored on the USB drive. To avoid data loss, make a
backup copy of all the data that you want to keep.
