Windows 10: Creating new factory reset recovery partition

Hi

I have recently upgraded my storage drive to ssd . Before transferring my OS to SSD i deleted the 'push button reset' system partition which had windows recovery environment.

Now after transferring my OS to SSD I want to create factory reset partition containing window recovery environment as I had before.

Please guide me how can I create that partition on my storage drive

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)

For awhile I had been wondering how to create a recovery partition to reinstall windows without the need do find my thumb drive or disk, or hell burn another. With that in mind i figured others would also like to know. Therefor I have created this Video (720P processing of vid can take upto 30min from orig post date stamp, quality will improve) and thread on how to create a BASIC recovery partition to install/repair a windows installation using a new or existing hard drive. Without the need to buy software.

Factory recovery - Create a Custom Recovery Partition  

Note: other members might object the following recommendation. It is only my personal, subjective opinion about what you should do.

Having checked that your DVD recovery set works, store the disks in a safe place. Format the current recovery partition, NTFS file system, and assign it a drive ID letter, then use it to create your own Windows 10 recovery media on that partition as told in this tutorial.

One minor thing, not an issue but something you might want to do: You told that the current recovery partition is 25 GB. It is at least 5 to 10 GB bigger than needed for your own recovery media. If you want to free the unused space, you can shrink that partition when your recovery media is created and you can see how much space is needed.

However, usually those recovery partitions are last on the disk. You cannot shrink a partition "backwards" with native Windows Disk Management tool, in other words free space on it to give more space for partition before it. For that you must use a third party partitioning tool like MiniTool Partition Wizard.

Following the instructions in tutorial step by step, the procedure is really easy, straight forward.
