    I bought an ASUS ROG GL503 that has a 1tb HDD + 256gb SSD for storage. But the Windows OS didn't come installed on the SSD, it came on the HDD, and came without any drivers, even missing Microsoft Visual C++ and Direct3D.

    "This PC" says the SSD has 100% free space, but Disk Management shows that the SSD still has a "RECOVERY" partition hidden in there, with 412 MB free space out of a total 800 MB. I'm guessing the factory Windows image is in there.

    I've tried "Reset this PC" but I can't find a way of using the RECOVERY partition from the SSD to install Windows on it. I also tried booting from the SSD from the Boot List. I also tried using advanced startup options to look for any images in the SSD but I haven't been successful.

    I want to install factory Windows, hopefully with all the drivers, from the SSD on it. How do I do this?

    I suggested you try Fn F9 because there is a possibility that the previous owner reversed the default and alternative functions of the F keys - I have them reversed on this Lenovo I'm using now. It's only a shot in the dark but if you haven't already done so then do try it.
