Windows 10: Recovery disc`s

Do i have to create a new set of recovery disc`s after updating to windows 10 from 8.1or do the original set i made still apply?

:)

 

Can I create a recovery drive on USB HDD containing existing file backups?

Will executing the "Create Recovery Drive" process wipe out backup files on a 2TB external disc drive created by Windows "File History" application? To direct it to creating a CD(s) would require 29 discs.

 

DVD drive not working - Code 19

Hi,

Toshiba has a couple of Recovery Media tools that cause this type of problem after upgrades... You will need to uninstall whichever one(s) you have...

Toshiba Disc Creator and\or Toshiba Recovery Media Creator.

 

You can download the Windows 10 iso-esd from Windows 10 ISO Download - Windows 10 Forums

Really once you get everything installed software wise. I would just make a image backup of the hard drive using something like Clonezilla or EaseUS Todo workstation. That way if something goes bad. You can just reimage the drive with the backup and not have to spend three or four days putting all of the software and updates back on the drive.

 

Make yourself a recovery cd and a backup image on a external hard drive or another partition however test it to make sure the image can be read, if not enable system restore and windows backup. Note windows backup can be turned off once the image can be read.

 

Thank you . does that mean that the original recovery discs can now be dumped?

 

What original recovery discs are you referring to.

 

The set of discs that i made when i first bought the toshiba computer 2 years ago that was 8.1 .on inital startup i was adviced to create a set .

 

I would just keep them for now I can't see them taking up much space, although I have read that they will no longer work, I would be tempted to try them out as long as I had a current system image to restore as I have read that they will no longer work but that's just me.

 

I use Veeam Endpoint Backup. You can also use Veeam to create a full image of your PC with just a couple of clicks.

 

Just what i needed to hear i will stash them away just in case, many thanks
