Command Prompt, System Restore, and other Startup Settings at Boot w/o Boot Disk
You don't need a boot disk to get to the "Advanced Options" menu.
From the Windows login screen: hold down shift key while clicking on the power icon in lower right corner. Keep holding down shift key and click on restart.
Windows will not restart, but instead show a blue screen with "Choose an option"
- Options are: Continue, Troubleshoot, Turn off your PC.
- Choose: Troubleshoot, then choose Advanced Options
Now you will see a blue screen with six different options.
- Options are: System Restore, System Image Recovery, Startup Repair, Command Prompt, Startup Settings, and Go back to the previous build.
If you select an option, such as "Command Prompt" the computer will reboot and load into a basic graphical interface with a command shell window open and no other windows menus.
Note: Some of the Advanced Options on the screens mentioned above may be different. They should be similar and there should always been an option for the Command Prompt.
