Probably, many PC users got into a situation where the operating system would not start. For example, the computer was constantly rebooting, or a window appeared that displayed an error. This often pushes users to reinstall the OS. Everyone knows that this is a troublesome business, since in this case some of the files are lost and you need to reinstall the drivers. In the meantime, it's much easier to use the Recovery Console.

After that, you will be taken to a screen where there will be an inscription "System Restore". Click on this function with the left mouse button. A window will pop up in which there will be a list of operating systems. In this list, check the Windows 7 OS, then - the item "Use recovery tools" and proceed further.
