Windows 10: Windows 11 recovery disk only does a BIOS update

I created a windows 11 recovery USB drive. I assume it should give the option to restore the Windows 11 operating system on my computer. However, whenever I boot from the USB drive it does a BIOS update then reboots to Windows. It never gives me the option to fix problems with my computer. How do I get it to work properly? I reformatted the USB drive and recreated the recovery disk twice and each time I get the same result. I'm not really sure what it is supposed to do. However, I don't want to wait until I have a crisis to get it working. I have a new HP laptop. Prior to creating the recovery

XP disk versus Laptop Recovery Disk?

Recovery disks are just OEM copies of XP disks. Ie, they can have things such as the companys logo within the files.

If you got a normal XP disk you cant use it. The only way your dads copy of XP will activate is if your normal XP copy is OEM, unless you use the recovery disk.

I always use the recovery disks. Works just like a normal copy *Smile . Plus with the recovery disks you dont need the serial key as I *think* its embedded into the files on the disk. Just need to activate windows once on the net *Wink .
