    Windows 10 Recovery is installing Windows 8.1


    I have a computer that shipped with Windows 8.1 but was upgraded to Windows 10 during the free period. The computer had many issues, so I decided to start over and created a recovery drive in Windows 10. I included copying the system files to the recovery drive. Then I booted to the recovery drive and did a full re-install of Windows. However, what it installed is Windows 8.1. How do I get the recovery USB drive to reinstall Windows 10?

    :)

    DTS supported natively by Windows 8/8.1 and it should work on windows 10 too just DDL require to unlock your driver .

    Download Windows 10 TH/RS

    For the convenience of not having to use the installation media for startup repairs. But you should be able to use your installation media to do whatever the recovery partition does(including startup repairs). AFAIK. I could be wrong about that though.
    I'm not sure if I follow you there. But if you clean install Windows 10 there will be at least 3 partitions.
    • (EFI System Partition)
    • (Primary Partition)
    • (Recovery/OEM Partition)
    If you install from an OEM installation media there might(should?) be 4 partitions. Since there might(should?) be a Recovery partition and an OEM partition.
