Recovering your operating system if Windows 8.1 fails to start
The Windows recovery environment on your computer is capable of operating independently from the
Windows 8.1 operating system. This enables you to recover or repair the operating system even if the
Windows 8.1 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 instructions on the screen.
Note: Ensure that your computer is connected to ac power during the recovery process.
Creating and using recovery media
You can create recovery media as backups for the Windows recovery environment and the Windows
recovery image. If you cannot start the computer, you can use recovery media to troubleshoot and fix the
problems on your computer.
It is recommended that you create recovery media as early as possible. Once you create recovery media,
keep them in a safe place and do not use them to store other data.
Creating recovery media
To create recovery media, you need a USB storage device with at least 16 GB of storage. The required USB
capacity depends on the size of the recovery image.
