Windows 10 System Restore

I have recently gotten in a couple of Windows 10 Professional PCs. A good guess at fixing them would be a system restore. Neither one boot. So I boot the WIndows 10 DVD and select the "System Restore" option. The first computer replied to the effect "Can't do a system restore here. You need to boot in to Windows and run it from within Windows" the one I have in here not says "This option is not supported on the operating system you've selected".

So.... how do you do a system restore on a Windows 10 computer that won't boot?

I never got in to Windows. It locked up after logging in. As mentioned above the fix was to pull the power cord a couple times while it was booting until it went in the the "Automatic Restore" mode at which point I could to a reset, keep everything. Fixed it.
Thank you for the update and I was happy to help.
