Windows 10: revovery usb disk vs system repair disk vs system image

Hi Guys

Scenario: if system is unable to boot, windows corrupted ,crashed completely.

1. Could you please clarify the difference between the Usb recovery disk and system repair disk created by the windows 10.
And if I have my system image created already the do I really need these two disks as I mentioned above or system image created by windows is enough to reboot and recover your image. What is the difference between recovery disk and system repair disk?

2. If I create system image using third party software, then do you have to create repair disk or recovery disk via the same software as well, or the system image from third party software is enough to reboot and recover your full system as it is.
3.Does system image itself is safe or you must have the recovery disk as well, please clarify.
I heard that some version of windows have problems in restoring the image if created by windows 10, my version is 1809.
At the moment I have got system image created by windows 10 and usb recovery disk.
Also I have got system image and recovery usb disk created by Macrim 7 software as well.
Both windows 10 created image and macrim image on the same external HD.
So please advise what will be the correct method to keep everything safe and can I add other images to external HD on which I already had the image saved. Can I keep other data on the drive as well the images, will that interfere in case I need to restore image from this external HD.

Please advise on this as I am confused with all these options.
I had bad experience recently where my windows were corrupted , I tried to use recovery manager options that came with my hp laptop , it couldn’t work and it deletes everything on my pc so I have to do fresh install windows 10 recently as my system crashed and I had no recovery disk available and the recovery partition in the system didn't work either and then have to install all the other software again, luckily I had my personal data backed up already.

So I don’t want to go through that bad experience again and looking for a safe method to restore the whole image if this thing happens again and I won’t be able to boot and recover the system.

thanks.

Recommendations for Windows 10 Home system repair disk and system image creation frequency

I thought I had a good understand of backup and restore for Windows. Following a recent problem where neither my saved backup (system image) nor system recovery disk resolved my problem, I am wondering now what are the recommendations for how often I need
to create a new system repair disk or a system image.

I understand that any new files or apps and settings changes made following a backup activity can't be restored using my backup or saved system image. What I am curious to know is whether I need to make a new system repair disk and create a new system image
backup whenever Microsoft distributes a new build version.

When I had the problem I referred to, the system failed to boot up but put me into the Windows Recovery Environment, where it tried to diagnose and repair an undescribed problem. The automatic repair failed. I next tried to use my Win 10 system repair disk
to no avail. I downloaded the Win 10 ISO and tried to reinstall from it unsuccessfully. The messages I received suggested that the recovery steps I was trying were inconsistent with the installed OS. This brings me back to my original question. When Microsoft
installs a new build version (such as going from the 10568 to the 14363 builds, do I need to create a new system repair disk and/or a new system image backup? Thanks in advance for your help.

 

System Repair Disk on USB

Windows 10 allows recovery be created on USB. Is there a way to create the REPAIR disk on USB too.

Thank You.
