Hello friends! This article describes step by step how to restore Windows 8 on a laptop, if it loads with an error or does not load at all.

Before the article, as usual, we publish two interesting letters from our readers.

1) Hello! Tell me how to restore on a laptop, please in detail? I bought a laptop with the Windows 8 operating system pre-installed, immediately, about a week after the update, the laptop froze during the game, I confess, the game is unlicensed. After a forced reboot, Automatic Recovery started on the laptop, which led to nothing. Entering safe mode using the F8 key also failed, so I called a technician. The wizard came, entered the BIOS of my laptop and set the boot priority from the flash drive, then booted my laptop from the recovery flash drive, which is done in Windows 8 itself in one minute (so he said), the Windows 8 recovery environment loaded, in it he found the recovery service system, selected a restore point and clicked Next, after three minutes my laptop booted up safely, everything was quick and simple.

After the master left, my wallet was lighter by exactly 500 wooden rubles (this is still a familiar master) and I seriously decided to try to restore Windows 8 on the laptop myself and do everything that the master did, but it didn’t work out for me. The laptop does not boot from the Windows 8 recovery flash drive I created, maybe I created it with an error, or in the UEFI BIOS itself it was incorrectly set to boot from a flash drive. I started looking for answers to questions on the Internet and found your site, for people like me it’s just a godsend.

I ask you, if possible, repeat all the steps of the wizard and start by creating a Windows 8 recovery flash drive, then manipulate the BIOS and show what needs to be done in the Windows 8 recovery environment, or otherwise it is called the Action Selection menu, Diagnostics.

2) Hello admin, I want restore Windows 8 on laptop of a friend of mine, it won’t load for him, he made a Windows 8 recovery flash drive on his laptop and wanted to help. I think I'll boot the laptop from the recovery flash drive, then apply system restore, but it turns out that the recovery program on the flash drive is English. Here is the screenshot. Tell me what to click next to apply system restore. I wrote to you because you always write everything down in detail; anyone, even a beginner, can understand it.
