    "Could not find the recovery environment" on attempt to reset PC


    Hello!
    I'm trying to reset my PC in hopes that it will fix some issues i'm having with games, however whenever I try to reset my PC it says "Could not find the recovery environment". It says to insert my windows installation or recovery media, but I got windows 10 from the free upgrade (I upgraded from windows 7) so I don't have anything to install it. I could really use any help that anyone could offer. Thanks!*Smile

    :)

    Trying to reset my laptop with a usb, but the usb is not appearing as an option to restart with.

    I will try using BIOS, but I know of the option for using Windows to reset. However, every time I attempt to reset through it, I get an error message of "Could not find Recovery Environment". So, then I tried use the Advance Startup then use the option
    to a usb, but my usb does not appear there.

    Start menu doesn't respond properly and Action Center missing in Windows 10 Home SL

    Again, the new user account also has the same problem as in the old account. So, I tried Resetting my PC from Settings>Update and security>Recovery>Reset this PC. But it gave an error "Could not find the recovery environment". However, a Recovery partition
    drive (D"Could not find the recovery environment" on attempt to reset PC :) was created when I bought my laptop. How should I reset my PC now?

    Or try using Option 1 to create the USB flash drive, you do not need Rufus to do this.
