I trying to select user record using

SQL
var customUser = (from u in context.Users
            join pr in context.PasswordRecoveries on u.Id equals pr.userId
            where pr.url == token && pr.requestDateTime.AddHours(12) <DateTime.Now
            select u).First();

You need to explain this more as technically there is nothing wrong with the query on its own.

Here is https://www.tektutorialshub.com/linq-to-entities/join-query-entity-framework/ you can refer to

You need to tell us what errors you get, but EF does not like functions inside it. Do this instead:

XML
DateTime dt = DateTime.Now.AddHours(-12);

var customUser = (from u in context.Users
            join pr in context.PasswordRecoveries on u.Id equals pr.userId
            where pr.url == token && pr.requestDateTime < dt
            select u).First()


Then if it still does not work, tell us what error you get, so we can help you further.

You can also use FirstOrDefault() if it won't always find a value. You should also use an order by if you're using 'first' and there could be more than one record, or the one you get will be essentially random.

why to choose entity framework when other orms in .net

Because it is integrated in to C# already, and if you're using SQL Server, your entire stack comes from the one vendor. If you're using another ORM, I'd not recommend changing, but EF is a good choice to start with on a new project.
C#
//Set date out of query to compare
DateTime DateToCompare = DateTime.Now.AddHours(-12);

//Use FirstOrDefault(), it will return null value or only one record based on data
var customUser = (from u in context.Users
                join pr in context.PasswordRecoveries on u.Id equals pr.userId
                where pr.url == token && pr.requestDateTime < DateToCompare 
                select u).FirstOrDefault();
if(customUser != null)
{
//Success code
}

Your solution is incredibly similar to Solution 1 - if you're going to resurrect answered posts then it is a good idea to use some words to explain why rather than just essentially repeating someone else's answer
I would suggest that use sql statements in the form of stored procedures. It will give you better performance. Another point is that its always easy to troubleshoot sql statements than linq statements.

For step by step instructions on how to use stored procedures in entity framework, check this article:
