Windows 10: Created the Repair Disc Win 10-64, How to get it to Boot?

I have created the ' Repair Disc for Windows 10-64 Bit', then turned off the PC and turned back on with said disk plugged in, nothing happened! I got back my normal window boot screen. Am I missing something? the wonderful MS intelligent directions called the created disk a 'Bootable' CDR ! I hope someone can shed some details on WTF went wrong and how to actually get a BACKUP bypassing MS great and friendly accurate leading instructions as usual ! much appreciated.

cannot create repair disc

Hi,

I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with creating system repair disc. I will certainly help you with the issue.

To understand the issue better, I would like to know please check if the CD/DVD drive is detecting in Device manager and check for yellow color exclamation mark next to it?

This issue could occur if the media is corrupted, hence you need to replace the media which you are using as some of the media may cause this type of issues while burning. Try the below steps and check if it helps to resolve the
issue.

Step 1.

In the search bar, type recdisc.exe and hit
Enter.

Step 2.

• Now press Windows key + X and click
  Control Panel (All Items view), and click on the
  Backup and Restore icon.
• Now click on the Create a System recovery disc link in the left blue pane.
• Insert a blank CD or DVD into your CD/DVD drive and click on the Create disc button.

NOTE: If you are prompted to insert a Windows installation disc, it means that the files needed to create the system repair disc cannot be found on your
computer. Insert a Windows 10 installation disc.

• It will now start creating the System Repair Disc

NOTE: If any Auto Play window pops up, just close it.

• When it's finished, click on the Close button.
• Click on OK.
• Now remove the remove and label your new Windows 10 System Repair Disc from the CD/DVD drive.

Hope this helps. If you need further assistance with Windows, let us know and will be glad to help.

 

Can't create win 10 repair disc


Thanks guys. To be more specific, I was using the backup and recovery (win 7) feature in my win 10 latest edition. It does allow a win 7 style repair disc and it has to be a DVD/CD, can't be flash drive. I was able to transfer win 10 from a smaller SSD to a larger one simply by backing up a system image, creating such repair disc, and booting with the repair disc with the new drive. I was able to then restore the system image to the new drive and restart. Then I could expand the partition to take the whole new SSD.

I was trying to do this same thing on that HP laptop, except this time I had to shrink the partition to fit on a smaller SSD. I was able to boot the HP using a repair disc I created on a different win 10 system and force select the HP's image. I didn't go through with it yet, due to some unrelated hard drive failure that I had to take care first. I'll report back with this win 7 method and try the recovery drive as well.

 

Can't create win 10 repair disc


I tried to create a repair disc for an HP laptop but windows wants me to insert an installation disc. I don't have any. I upgraded it from win 8.1 to win 10 so I don't have an installation disc. How do I get over this requirement? My two Dell laptops created repair discs just fine. I installed win 10 on the Dell laptops fresh. They both had win 8 and I updated to win 10. Then I removed the HDD and inserted new SSD and installed win 10 fresh and they both got activated. I wonder what I need to do to get the HP laptop to create such a repair disc.
