and troubleshooting tools. The tools are referred to as Advanced Startup Options. You
can access these options by selecting Settings Update & security. There are
several choices:

This option allows you to restore Windows to an earlier point in time if you have
created a restore point.
Recover from a drive
If you have created a recovery drive on Windows 10, you can use the recovery
drive to reinstall Windows.
Reset this PC
This option allows you to reinstall Windows with or without keeping your files.
See Microsoft website for more information.
NOTE:
If you are in a situation where your computer won’t boot into Windows, you can
access the Advanced Startup Options by running the BIOS Setup Utility and
selecting Advanced Windows RE.
System recovery for Windows 10 typically will take several hours to complete.
