Guys please help when I go to windows automatic repair an error pops out saying "Windows automatic repair could not fix your pc" so I tried going to command prompt running with admin of course and using the code bootrec /RebuildBcd and bootrec /FixBoot to fix it but a message pops out saying bootrec is not recognized so I don't know what to do. I tried searching bootrec.exe in drive c, windows, system 32 folder but I couldn't find it. How do i fix this and do I need a windows installation cd to activate bootrec and automatic repair or something? Please don't suggest using system restore points and system reset because I will not try those solutions for I already tried system restore and automatic repair still did not work and system reset for me will remove all my programs so I will not do it. I'm using windows 10 and with latest updates also tried sfc scan now with no issues and tried dism restorepoint already which completed successfully.

2019-11-16T06:48:36+00:00 No, 500mb is plenty. Most System Reserved are 100mb. Was it preinstalled at Factory? Have you done a Clean Install yet?

2019-11-16T06:47:31+00:00 do I need to extend its memory by typing "extend size=" or 500 mb is enough?

Assign
List Vol (to see what letter was assigned to System Reserved)
Then continue with steps to Rebuild BCD. These are only sometimes successful. That's why I gave you a backup plan.
