Accessing Windows Recovery Settings Offline

If you can’t boot into Windows you can use the above tools by booting from your Windows 8 DVD or Windows 8 Recovery Media (see my article Create Windows 8 Recovery Media ).

If booting from a recovery disk choose your keyboard.

If booting from the Win10 DVD choose Repair your computer.

Click Troubleshoot.

Click Reset, or Advanced options

For Reset you can choose to keep files or start fresh.

Advanced options allow several ways to restore including, restore points, system images, and Startup repair. You can even roll back to a previous build if need be.

    Hi Eric,

    Excellent guide!

    For my backups, I am using Macrium Reflect Home. It’s an excellent product with tons of options and fast, professional support. For past 10 years, I’ve used Norton Ghost and later, its Symantec derivatives. After I purchased my SSDs, Symantec System Recovery 2013 (& 2015 for that matter) could not restore its HD image to an SSD. Tons of complaints from all over. I’ve also tried Acronis but Macrium leaves them all in the dust.

      Hi Eric. I’ve been reading your articles for only a couple of weeks. They are very good and informative. Thanks!
      Ref JackL’s comment, I use Macrium Reflect Home ( FREE !!) as well and it is great for cloniing and imaging my HDD.
      Forgot to say thanks for the heads up ref another Windows “” update “”
