What is efi partition? Is that the partition that you told to create while installing windows? Because you said to create 300 mb file diskpart.
But how can i make the efi and msr partition manually if it's possible, please because I really want my laptop to get the f3 option back and restore it to factory image 🙏😭

Do one thing for now, install 7zip, assign a letter to BIOS_RVY partition, open install.swm inside Recoveryimage folder with 7zip, go to folder 1, then windows and copy RE_DRIVE folder from there and paste it into your current windows folder of c drive. Then install MSI center/ dragon center or what ever your laptop model supports, then it should give you option to create recovery usb, make that usb recovery and recover your computer with that usb.
This will delete all your files and factory install every thing and partitions.

Seems like you just deleted the BIOS_RVY partition. You have to use any file recovery software like recuva or other and try to recover files that were inside bios_rvy partition.
install windows for now on 3rd partition and try using software to recovery the files first.

installed windows and did recovery scan by Minitool Partition Wizard and Recuva, the minitool software scan got completed in around 2 hours but the recuva scan is still going on.. It's too slow.
I checked the files of the minitool scan but i couldn't found my BIOS_RVY file
Is there any other way to get my file back? 😭 please help me.. I didn't knew doing that diskpart clean will clean my disk, I thought it's the part of the process

Is the install.swm file same in every msi laptop or it's different? Like your msi prestige and my msi gf63.. Is it different or same?
And if I do the factory restore by your recovery usb will I get the same msi window, I mean like the wallpaper and softwares? And yes last but not least question, if I use your recovery usb which has your "install.swm" Files, how will I get my "install.swm" Files.. I mean of my msi gf63 after that? @Bsl K
 
@Bsl K sorry for disturbing again. I want to ask that can i use this for my MSI GF63? If yes then how? Because I am a bit confused that how will I use that *.adi file in it.. And also how will I change that SKUNAME with that *.adi file

yah, if you can't recover your deleted recovery files, then you can try that as well. Therotically it will restore your partitions and later you can install and remove the drivers and msi softwares as per your model. This is not recomended, BUT as per your current situation, you can try it..

use 7zip to extract files from that, copy those files to usb, and try and scee if your laptop gets to that recovery window or not.

Why you said this is not recommended?

@Bsl K sorry for disturbing but can you reply, I was waiting the whole day for your reply

Which part?? You want to know why it not recommended??
Well install.swm file is nothing more than compressed c drive i.e. image of c drive. If it is another model, the software and drivers of that model will be installed. Its not that your computer will be bricked or anything, but i haven't tried it myself so can't recommend you to do that. But theoretically it should work.
Based on your current situation, you can give it a go, or manually create the partitions and follow the tutorial to capture your new image and create f3 recovery, it thats what you like to have.
