    You can´t get it back, unless you call support and ask for a usb recovery drive. You really don´t need it though, you can still reset windows 10 with a clean install, it just won´t be the factory recovery.

    You can do a clean install of windows then you will get the windows recovery partition....not the factory recovery though.
