maybe you mixed Windows Rescue and Vendors Rescue/recovery. the first comes from M$ and is able to boot the box and do some simple tasks (Win 7, don't know if Win 10 can do more) analogous to F30 rescue. the second is an disk image (like dd) from the vendor and contains: - a complete Windows installation with drivers, application, bloatware, etc. - a set of tools to freshen and/or to restore that recovery and maybe a change to the boot sector to provide an function key to start recovery out of the boot sreen restore overwrites the hole disk or at least the windows partition with that contents, an image, in the (normally) hidden recovery partition. It simply reset the box to the state when you bought it. P.S. we discussed that already weeks ago. when do you want to start remembering it ? - askes a 58 year old sixpack13 with the beginning indication of "weared out memory", Hrmph ! - :-P _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
