i am using aspire es1-571-p4zr, it came with windows 10 preinstalled and i created a recovery usb on the very first day, now i have installed windows 11 by watching a YouTube video to install win 11 on non-compatible pc, it gets hell slow, so i tried to reset the complete pc by pressing alt f10 while starting the laptop. And did the complete system reset, but it came up with windows 11 again, now i am trying to recover from usb drive, by selecting usb hdd as first boot but nothing is happening, help me

Recovery drives need to be made after each major upgrade or at least once a year. In your case rolling back to W10 won't work as you had W11 installed. You need to make an installation flash drive and download W10 22H2 ISO image, then clean install W10 on your laptop. This is a 2015 model so you don't need to download the Intel IRST driver:

It sounds like you're having trouble restoring your Aspire ES1-571-P4ZR back to its original Windows 10 setup. Here's what you can try:

1. Ensure your USB is working – Plug the USB into another device to check if it's properly set up. If it isn’t detected, try creating a new recovery USB on a different PC if possible.
2. Check boot order – Ensure that 'USB HDD' is selected as the first boot option in the BIOS. You can enter the BIOS by pressing F2 during startup.
3. Disable Secure Boot – In the BIOS, look for the ‘Secure Boot’ option and disable it. Sometimes Windows 11 enforces settings that restrict USB boot.
4. Reformat the USB drive – If the issue persists, reformat the recovery USB and re-create it using the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool or any other recovery method.

If none of these steps work, you might want to consider performing a clean install of Windows 10 using an official ISO file. Let me know if you need further help!
