Creating a recovery drive

A recovery drive can help you troubleshoot and fix problems with your PC, even if it won't start. To create one, all you need is a USB drive.

• From the taskbar, search for Create a recovery drive then select it. You might be asked to enter an admin password or confirm your choice.
• When the tool opens, make sure Back up system files to the recovery drive is selected, then select
  Next.
• Connect a USB drive to your PC, select it, then select Next > Create. A lot of files need to be copied to the recovery drive, so this might take a while.
• When it's finished, you might see a Delete the recovery partition from your PC link on the final screen. If you want to free up drive space on your PC, select the link, then select
  Delete. If not, select Finish.

Hope the above information helps. Reply with necessary information and the result to help you further. Thank you.

 

Error While creating USB recovery drive in Windows 10

@Ruth: Why do you think your next suggestion works?

What you actually say is "Use the function/application RecoveryDrive.exe" . --> voila, step 5: The USB recovery drive will now be created

But, as I wrote many times, I have a problem with creating the USB recovery drive!!!!

So, I guess, the USB recovery drive will NOT be created.....

Because this is a learning process for some persons, I will do as told, but I would really be suprised that the solution to 'the USB recovery drive is not created' is simply execute this function.

Because that's what I'm doing all the time...., either by direct access, by using the quick start button or by using the desk shortcut.
