Press Windows logo key + L to get to the sign-in screen, and then restart your PC by pressing the Shift key while you select the Power button > Restart in the lower-right corner of the screen.
Your PC will restart in the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) environment.

If you are attempting to recover Windows 11 and the only recovery option you see is for Windows 7, it could mean that the recovery partition on your computer has not been updated to include Windows 11. This could potentially impact your recovery process, as attempting to recover with the wrong operating system could result in errors or even data loss.

Before proceeding with the recovery process, I recommend contacting the manufacturer of your computer or checking their support website to see if they have updated recovery media or instructions available for Windows 11. They may be able to provide you with the necessary files and guidance to successfully recover your system with Windows 11.

If you are unable to obtain updated recovery media or instructions, you may need to consider other options, such as performing a clean installation of Windows 11 using installation media, or contacting a professional technician for assistance. It is important to ensure that you have a proper backup of your important data before attempting any kind of recovery or installation process.

If you are trying to recover Windows 11 through your control panel, but the only option available is for Windows 7, it is likely that your computer was originally installed with Windows 7 and was later upgraded to Windows 11.
In this case, selecting the Windows 7 option may not necessarily revert your computer back to the original Windows 7 installation, but instead, it may allow you to access recovery options for Windows 11.
However, it is important to note that the specific recovery options available may differ depending on your computer’s manufacturer and the type of recovery partition or disk provided.
To ensure that you are able to recover your Windows 11 installation correctly, it is recommended that you refer to your computer’s documentation or contact the manufacturer for further guidance on how to perform recovery for your specific device.
