Regarding Windows Recovery Partition

I see. The thing is you created the system image backup using Reflect and that why you was able to restore the recovery partition from that SIB using reflect, but for me, i created the SIB using windows inbuilt backup utility and that's why i wont be able to restore the recovery partition using macrium reflect.

That's a significant advantage of Reflect amongst others - you might want to use that in future. Note you don't really need a recovery partition if you make a separate recovery USB drive.

By your screenshot, you already have an EFI partition, you're good there. Plus you couldn't boot without it.

I know but dont you think without the original efi partition that i had with my out of factory window copy that i will be able to reset the windows to the factory settings? Because earlier i was able to restore only the C partition on top of a fresh window 10 c partition and now i am successful in restoring the original recovery partition but the efi partition is still missing from the original windows copy.

I know its a bit confusing and i am sorry for wasting your time. I am sharing the link to the thread from where i get the idea of restoring just the c partition may be after reading that post you will get the whole picture of what i am trying to accomplish. Please read the 1st post on the 5th page on the below given link.

I cannot restore any system image which was created in Windows 10 - Microsoft Community

Yes indeed it is and i am using it for now. But i did not know that Microsoft has Deprecated their inbuilt SIB utility and i made the mistake of making the SIB using windows inbuilt utility and format my hard drive because my laptop was giving me some trouble. And when i tried to restore that SIB and couldn't then i did some search and found out what was happening but anyway it was too late for me, damage was already done.

The EFI never changes after it's created during the initial Windows install. It's only needed if you boot GPT and not MBR(legacy partitioning).

Allright. But i am still unable to reset my pc. Although the initial setup starts but it keeps stopping at 26 percent.
