Question about restoring Windows 11

Hello, I'm new here and I'm greeting you.

I bought a new computer for my wife with Windows 11 pre-installed.

The system is running now, but I'm wondering what to do if Windows doesn't start?

There's a "Recovery" partition on the 512 GB M2 SSD.

There are no instructions, so I'm asking you.

    Turn on your PC, and as soon as Windows starts to load (logo appears), hold down the power button to force shutdown. Do this 3 times. Windows will detect a problem and should launch the Recovery Environment.
