Step 1: Enter Recovery Mode and Open Command Prompt

To open the Windows recovery screen:

1. Press and hold the Power button to turn off your PC.
2. Turn it back on, and when the Windows logo appears, turn it off again.
3. Repeat this process three times.
4. On the third attempt, your PC should enter Recovery Mode.

👉 If that doesn’t work, create a bootable Windows 10 USB or DVD using Microsoft’s Media Creation Tool. Boot from it and on the first screen, click Repair your computer (bottom-left corner).

Both methods will take you to the Recovery Options screen.
