Once you have recovery drive/disc created, boot from it. In order to do
that, plug it in and start your Windows computer or device. Immediately
after it starts, press the boot device selection key on your keyboard. Its
usually the F12, F11 or the Escape key, but it could be another as well,
depending on the manufacturer of your devices mainboard. Doing that
will make your computer display a boot priority selection menu. Use the
arrow keys on the keyboard to select the recovery drive. Then, press
Enter and, when asked to press any key to boot from that drive, do so.

First of all, you have to clean the Master Boot Record (MBR) by using
bootrec /fixmbr. Next, type bootsect.exe /nt60 all /force and press
Enter. The /nt60 parameter applies the master boot code that is
compatible with BOOTMGR. The /all argument updates the master boot
code on all partitions. The /force parameter forcibly dismounts the
volume(s) during the boot code update so that the Bootsect.exe tool
does not gain exclusive volume access.

the correct Windows boot loader in order to load that specific
installation from your drive.
