    Unable to create USB Flash Recovery drive


    I bought a licence from the Microsoft store so my Windows 10 is legit. When I try to create a USB flash drive Recovery, I get the error that some files are missing so the Recovery could not be created. Help please.

    :)

    Creating a Recovery Drive on USB flash Drive

    I want to create a Recovery Drive on a USB Flash Drive. When I click on Recovery Media Creation, and then go to the next step, I get the message:

    Quote

    We cant create a recovery drive on this PC. Some required files are missing. To troubleshoot problems when your PC cant start, use your Windows Installation disc or media

    Unquote

    I don't have a Windows Installation disc, since I got a free upgrade to Windows 10. What should I do?

    creating a recovery flash drive

    I have lost my windows 10 recovery flash drive and I am unable to create this recovery drive again because I have deleted the recovery from my system while I was creating the recovery flash drive. Now can I create this recovery drive again or not. If
    yes please tell me how can I create the recovery drive again?

    create recovery drive

    The Recovery Drive dialogue box does step 1 OK, but then doesn't offer me the option of selecting the usb drive 16 Gb which is inserted. It says Please wait, and after 5 min., "Unable to create recovery drive." Click Finish.

    I am trying to create a recovery drive in usb drive.
