  1. How to create a Windows 10 (1803) Recovery Disc


    After recently upgrading to V1803, I decided it would be advisable to create System Repair and Recovery discs. Had no problem creating a CD for the System Repair. Creating the Recovery disc was another story. I entered "recovery drive" in the search box and got the creation dialog. I followed this but eventually got "We can't create the recovery drive." Following some advice I found, I determined that this problem was NOT caused by the recovery environment being disabled. Mine IS enabled. After reading several more articles on this, I decided to start by creating an ISO on a USB thumb drive. This seemed to work. Ended up with these items on the USB:

    boot folder

    efi folder

    sources folder

    support folder

    autorun

    bootmgr

    bootmgr.efi

    setup.

    This consumed about 4GB on a 32GB drive. Not sure if this is what was supposed to have happened.


    After more reading, I couldn't figure out if what I created was a "recovery drive" or not. The articles were very confusing as to this and I couldn't determine if some additional step(s) was/were required to get to a bootable recovery drive. I saw something about a "Microsoft .iso to USB/DVD tool" to create a bootable USB. I searched for this and was directed to a page concerning it. However, this article doesn't discuss a recovery drive specifically. It appears to address downloading from the Microsoft Store and initial installation of Windows.


    Please help with some easy to understand advice on this.

    :)

    Windows 10 unable to create recovery disc

    HI

    I am trying to create a recovery disc (dvd or USB) of my newly updated windows 10.

    I have also tried to create a system repair disc of the same windows 10 machine.

    Both attempts do not work.

    I upgraded from windows 7 pro to windows 10 pro.

    If I choose to create a recovery disc by going:L

    Search > recovery > system settings > Recovery

    there are only two options

    Reset PC and Advanced start up

    there is no option to create a recovery disc or partition.

    If i choose to create a system repair disc (windows bootable DVD):

    Use search > control panel > file history > system image backup > create a system repair disc

    the error i receive is:

    " The files needed to create a system repair disc were not found on this computer.

    You can still create a system repair disc if you have a Windows installation disc."

    Please advise on how I can create a recovery disc as well as a system repair disc.

    Thank you
