Hello andrewclare,

Try tapping the F10 key as soon as the laptop is powered on.

This should open the System Recovery menu.

Re: my advent 4211-c need help

When you press F11 does anything happen at all.

If you are unable to access the recovery partition then see if you can order the recovery

disc from the manufacturer.
