    Questions on using a recovery disk for windows 10


    I'm sure other users will want to use some of this info too.


    I keep having issues with Windows 10 rebooting from, Startup, Sleep, and Restart. They don't always work.



    I've created a recovery disk on a My Passport Drive, but I can't find any info on how to use it or what files are saved to this drive.


    1. What is saved during the Creation of the recovery media?

    2. I have Windows office 2010 and a number of other programs I need to save before I do a clean install. How can I save them so I don't corrupt the clean Installed files?

    3. I want to wipe my entire C: drive clean before doing a clean install. Do I need to whip out all the partitions too?

    4. I want to test the clean install before reinstalling my Programs shown in Item 2 above.

    5. I don't want to re-corrupt the Clean install with any of the Backup or an Imaged Backup. Do I have to save the programs in a different manor?


    Where can we find printed and copy info to do all of this safely?

    :)

    XP disk versus Laptop Recovery Disk?

    Recovery disks are just OEM copies of XP disks. Ie, they can have things such as the companys logo within the files.

    If you got a normal XP disk you cant use it. The only way your dads copy of XP will activate is if your normal XP copy is OEM, unless you use the recovery disk.

    I always use the recovery disks. Works just like a normal copy *Smile Questions on using a recovery disk for windows 10 :). Plus with the recovery disks you dont need the serial key as I *think* its embedded into the files on the disk. Just need to activate windows once on the net *Wink Questions on using a recovery disk for windows 10 ;).

    Windows 10 recovery drive disks

    Hi,

    I realize that you are facing issues with the Windows Backup Recovery disks on your PC. I will try to help you with this issue.


    • What is the error message you get with the disks?
    Suggest you to insert those disks in a different PC to check if you are able to access your data.

    Keep us informed to help you further.

    Thank you.
