Windows 10: Windows recovery error

Hello folks -


So I went to reset my pc got a message it could not find the recovery environment and suggested that I used media USB or ISO to reset windows,


OK fine - so I downloaded the media creation tool, burnt the disk and tried again - no go. Then I remembered that I need to change the boot order in the BIOS settings. So I looked online for how to find it and went through the instructions but It just wouldn't appear.


Then I read about how to enable the recovery environment from Command Prompt. Still didn't work. Went through SFC/SCANNOW, everything's fine.


I'd really appreciate any help you could give me.

Thanks

Don Fraser
