Windows 10: How to create a complete restore dvd.

Greetings all. Low hours pilot here.

I'm new to uSWin10 and before I blow up the used PC I bought to experiment with, I would like to know how to fix it.

The OS license was obtained from the PC vendor. The uSW10Pro64 code was downloaded from uS and installed on the PC's empty disk. It was activated using a long hexadecimal sequence found on the license sticker. All is well at this point.

I want simulate a complete drive failure and see if I can restore my system. I intend on replacing the currently working hard drive with an identical, but empty, drive and see how it goes. Just how do I do this?

I don't want to just restore the OS, I want to restore the currently functioning OS with all it's user files etc. (The PC has a DVD writer but there is only one drive. Dell Optiplex 7010.)

Thanks.

:)

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
