    Yes, a Windows 11 recovery disk exists. It is a USB drive that contains the system files and tools to reinstall Windows 11 in case of a major issue such as hardware failure. You can create a recovery disk using the built-in tool in Windows 11, or download the installation media from Microsoft. To create a recovery disk, you need a USB drive that is at least 32 GB in size and empty, as the process will erase any data on it<sup>12</sup>.

    To use a recovery disk, you need to boot your PC from the USB drive. This may require changing the boot order in the BIOS or UEFI settings, or pressing a specific key (such as F2, F5, F12, etc.) during startup to access the boot menu. The exact key depends on your PC manufacturer and model. You can check the manual or the manufacturer’s website for more information. Once you boot from the USB drive, you will see the Windows Setup screen, where you can choose to install or repair Windows 11<sup>23</sup>.
