There's one immutable law of PCs: sh*t happens. And when it does, there's usually a way to fix things, if you had the foresight to create one essential recovery tool first.
Booting from a USB recovery drive allows you to perform basic troubleshooting repairs on any Windows system. And by adding Windows installation files to your bootable recovery drive, you can easily reinstall Windows and get back to work.
You can use Microsoft's Media Creation Tool to create a bootable USB flash drive with the latest Windows installation files. Go to the Download Windows 11 page, find the 'Create Windows 11 Installation Media' section, click Download Now, and follow the prompts.
Download the Windows 11 installer as a disk image file (in ISO format), use the built-in Windows Recovery Media Creator utility to create a bootable recovery drive, and copy the Windows installation files to that drive.
