    How to create an install disk

    I would like to know that also. Until Windows 10 for many years I have always had a physical install disc. Not having one now makes me nervous.

  6. Thanks Brink but I am much happier with a DVD Disk as I have proper storage facilities for them, USB's
    tend to get lost round here.

    Cheers

    Download the ISO file using either the Media Creation Tool (and the save ISO file for DVD option), or from Microsoft Tech Bench. In Windows 10 right click on the ISO file and select Burn disc image.

    How to create an install disk

    I did that yesterday actually, and burned to a USB flash drive. So if my Win 10 fails, all I have to do is boot up on the USB and I am back to a clean install of W 10. Seems simple. Correct?

    I assume that what will be installed will be a clean W 10, like installing it by buying W 10 - no programs, nor settings (except default). Correct?

    The problem with re-installation solutions is that it is not possible to test whether what has been set up, ready for a failure, will actually work, without overwriting your (still working normally) setup. I guess that is inevitable (but I have heard of a virtual computer setup that could run in parallel for testing, but that perhaps is being over cautious).

    Correct

    Also correct.

    Boot the computer from your installation media. When you get to the screen that asks for an Upgrade install or a custom install, select custom install. The next screen should present a list of hard drives installed and the partitions on the hard drives. Then you can remove the installation media and reboot your computer. That will at least tell you the computer will boot from it and see your drives.
