reinstalling windows with recovery CD
sorry for posting here, for some reason new post does not appear in the normal laptop forum!! Please change it places.
So i have a inspiron dell. it was bought with windows 8.0. we upgraded to 8.1 then to 10. I always order a recovery CD with every computer. Always. even if its already partitioned.
The option to reinstall windoes from a partition is just disappeared. reinstalling windows within the blue screen freezes at 61%. so i am using the cd recovery. Tried booting through windoes recovery, it never lets me boot to cd. so i boot through legacy and it does let me boot through cd using msdos. except. i cant get anywhere. i thought to download a USB boot image but when i put in service tag number it says there is none for my computer. This computer came with windows! help

You should not bother with obsolete Windows versions. Make a Windows 10 Build 15063 Bootable USB and directly clean install Windows 10 Build 15063. You can download the installation media from Microsoft. Make sure you have a UEFI Boot with Secure Boot Enabled:
