Hey there mashroor145,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We understand you’d like to know how to enter recovery mode on your iPhone when using a Windows PC. We’ll be happy to help.


The article you came from guides you on how to do this under “If your iPhone turns on but gets stuck during start up”:


“If you see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen during startup, try these steps:


  1. Connect your iPhone to a computer. On a Mac with macOS Catalina, open the Finder. On a Mac with macOS Mojave or earlier, or on a PC, open iTunes. Find out which macOS your Mac is using.
  2. Select your iPhone on your computer.
  3. While your iPhone is connected, follow these steps:
    • On your iPhone 6s or earlier, including iPhone SE (1st generation): Press and hold both the Home button and the side button or the top button at the same time.”
