  1. Questions and Clarity on creating a windows 10 image from fresh install of windows


    Good day



    I was hoping someone can assist me please at the microsoft community. I need some assistance on creating a windows 10 image. I just have a couple of questions if you can provide feedback it will be greatly appreciated


    My laptop recently crashed, so the IT guy that assisted me loaded windows 10 home and told me create an image.

    I need to create an image of windows 10 on a usb stick, I just have a few questions.


    1) Once you connect the usb in the laptop do I need to format the usb drive or will windows format it. There is something about Fats32 or NTSF not sure what that is.

    2) Once the windows wizard starts I have to be connected to the internet right? I hope my 16gib memory stick has enough space.??

    3) once the start up process starts and the back up process is complete.
    I will be asked if I want to create a system repair disc.

    My question can I store the repair disc on the same bootable usb stick that has the windows 10 images that I just created is that advisable.

    Otherwise can I store it on my laptop or the c drive of the laptop and then transfer it later to another external hard drive?

    This is the hardest part where to store the repair disc and can I transfer it later to an external drive and create an folder and store it, please advise thank you.

    When I contacted the microsoft desk about the repair disc there say this option is not there after the back up process is complete.

    These are the only questions I have.

    I hope someone can provide me with some clarity thank you.

    Kind Regards

    Kumar

    :)

    Help, cant create windows image

    Hello there, @fullinfusion!

    It seems like some sort of an OS confusion has happened with your secondary WD Black and I'm sorry to hear about that. *Frown Questions and Clarity on creating a windows 10 image from fresh install of windows :(
    Maybe re-formatting it would help indeed as the community already mentioned. I'd suggest to take a look at this step-by-step how to partition and format an HDD: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=PYCoid
    Keep in mind that this will wipe clean the drive, so you should backup all important data from the drive somewhere else.
    I noticed from the screenshots that your HDD appears as Disk 0, this means that it's plugged in the primary SATA port where the SSD (as an OS drive) should be. Actually it is possible that because of this Windows cannot create the image there. Swap the ports of the SSD and the HDD, this might help as well.

    Keep me posted. Hope this helped! *Smile Questions and Clarity on creating a windows 10 image from fresh install of windows :)
