Windows 10: create user / customised recovery partition

Hi folks

It's Monday morning so my brain isn't working as good as it should be !! but I was wondering if it's possible to create your own recovery partition which would have something like a macrium restore image on it and be bootable. To make it really simple when booting from that partition it should just prompt the user to restore to Disk X (where X is the disk to be restored). The recovery partition could be on any HDD and could be compressed to minimize space.

It must be possible to do this in a small space since computers when coming out of a store have a setup type of partition before first use of a computer. It would be more useful if the user could customise what the recovery partition should contain -- my objective would be to keep it as simple as possible --just restore -- no fancy tools etc.

Cheers

How To: Create recovery partition.

it worked when i copied all the files of the disk to the recovery partition i created, but i had to use WinPE tab to add the entry.

Type: WIM Image (Ramdisk)
Name: Recovery
Path: Z:\Sources\boot.wim
and hit Add Entry
I tried it in VirtualBox and it worked.
At first, it would add a second "Windows 7" entry to the list, but when the installation is finished, the old one is deleted. (I formatted only C: partition)
