Hello again Hellblazer33

Unfortunately I seriously doubt if you can do one-key recovery after installing another operating system on your PC. The recovery partition that contains the recovery information is associated with the system drive (C:) and the operating system in it when you first install the OS on a bare-metal machine (fresh PC with a blank hard disk drive).

Since you installed a separate copy of Windows on the computer, I don't think the one-key recovery would work.

To answer your question, if somehow you manage to initialize the one-key recovery process, it will recover the original Windows...
Hello Hellblazer33

If you want to check on which drive your Windows is installed, you can open the Run command prompt (by pressing the Windows + R keys together), type %SYSTEMDRIVE% in the available field, and press Enter.

The drive on which the Windows operating system has been installed will open up instantaneously.

About retrieving your data, you can always take the hard disk drive out of your laptop, connect it to a different computer, and copy the data from the externally connected hard drive to a different disk.

Note: Before taking out the hard drive from your laptop, make sure you do not break the warranty seal if your laptop is still under the warranty period.

Let me know if this helps. Good Luck!!

Hope this helps. :)
