Only single recovery image can be made, this will be having Windows 10 build that was released when this notebook was manufactured and sold in the market.

You can nevertheless clean install Windows 10.

This will allow you create UEFI bootable Windows 10 (build 1709) USB using Microsoft windows media creation tool

Disable secure boot from BIOS, plug in the installation USB, change boot order to USB then proceed with clean installation of Windows 10
