Whether you need to repair Windows 10, reset the OS, restore from a backup file or boot into safe mode, you have to navigate to the Advanced Startup Options menu. There are several different ways to navigate to Advanced Startup Options, depending on whether you can boot up or not.
Method 1: Hit F11
On many computers, if you hit F11 as soon as the computer powers on, you can get to the Advanced Startup Options menu.
Method 2: Boot off of an
Install Disk
If you have an install disk on USB or DVD, you can boot off of it and get into the Advanced Startup Options menu that way.
