recovery files save to disc?

Hi,

Yes, you can put it on the CD or DVD. A recovery drive (USB) or system repair disc (CD or DVD) can be used to troubleshoot and restore your computer.

For you to be able to create it, we suggest following the steps below:

• Insert the disc in the drive.
  
• Open Cortana, type in "recdisc" and click it.
  
  
• The disc creator will open, select the disc-burner drive with a writable CD or DVD in it and click the
  Create disc button.
  
  
  
• Once the process is complete, click OK
