Dell Backup and Recovery missing after Windows 10 recent upgrade

Hello. I am having a few problems with my laptop. When i first started it up, I did a factory reset once by going into Dell Backup & Recovery (version 1.6.0.3, preloaded) located in the Troubleshoot options. it was a Windows 8.1, once the reset was complete, i decided to upgrade to Windows 10 i didn't update any drivers and applications before i upgraded to W10.

Once upgraded, i went to the dell website downloaded a couple of the latest drivers and BIOS. I installed them and updated the Dell Backup & Recovery (1.9.2.8) for Windows 8.1; I did this because in the Windows 10 tab didn't have a DB&R install, so i just went to the W8.1 tab and took that. I did not uninstall the old one that was left over from Windows 8.1.

Once that was done i went into the program and it told me to update it, which i did and then it told me to create a recovery media, i did this with a USB stick and all was fine. I went into the troubleshoot options to reset the PC, and the option for DB&R was not there. Because that option wasn't there i knew something was wrong and decided to downgrade to Windows 8.1 just to fix this issue.

So instead i booted up into the recovery USB i created with the latest DB&R and factory reset there. Then there was a error and then the laptop had shutdown. I booted it up again and continued to factory reset from USB again. This time there was no problems. Windows reinstalled all fine, with all original loaded stuff, but the DB&R option in the advanced option was still not there.

I also downloaded an older DB&R and downgraded the latest one i installed in WIN10 and encountered a error in the "Updating PE Environment" loading bar with the error "factorysetup error 2". I also cannot refresh or reset the PC through windows. I get an error saying "cannot find recovery environment". Can someone help me with this issue, i would really like to fix this.

Thanks in advance.

Click Start. 
Select Create a recovery drive.
At the User Access Control prompt, Select Yes to open the Recovery Drive wizard. 
Connect the USB flash drive to an available USB port, ensure that the drive selected is correct, then click Next.
