Solved! Help With Recovery Image

[ashtongbragg]

Hi everyone,
I am probably in the wrong section but sorry if i am.

I'm looking for help with flashing a recovery Image from the recovery partition to restore a Laptop to factory. I was unable to do it via windows by default. I now have the install.wim for the device at about close to 15 GB in space, When i open it in 7-Zip i Have 3 Folders,a folder called "1" , "2" & "[DELETED]" and a "[1].xml" file (https/imgur.com/a/u9SM3XE) When I go into these folders i see this in the 1 folder https/imgur.com/a/GIHpRB9 In the 2 folder i see this https/imgur.com/upload and the deleted folder is just random files like this https/imgur.com/a/vzlXNtP I was wondering if there is any way to flash this .wim file to a hard drive and if that would even work? All help is appreciated. Thanks Everyone

Not sure why you are trying to restore the system from inside Windows, you do it by booting the laptop and selecting the restore option, which varies by model.

If for some reason you want to work with that .WIM file directly, read this https/social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/0b1c7099-37fb-4e58-890d-5e4f6082fd1d/installation-from-wim-file?forum=w7itproinstall
