Windows 10: Windows 10 System Recovery Image Questions

So I would like to make a system recovery image everything for my computer for a "just in case" moment, y'know? I have an external ssd or hdd or something I dunno and it has some stuff on there and I just want to know if I use the backup tools will it erase everything on the external drive or will it just add the system image file to the drive? I'm curious because I'd rather not lose a bunch of important data.

How to use the stock recovery partition to create a Windows image in BIOS.

Hi guys.
I have a laptop computer with only a recovery partition (Operating System -Win7HP- has been wiped out). My question is instead of installing a fresh copy of Windows, I was wondering if there is a way to compress or copy the factory recovery partition into an .iso image file and use a Windows recovery tool to re-image the HD with the result image. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Best regards,

 

[HELP]Image recovery issues

Guys i am trying to fix my cousins Asus Eee netbook. It has a backup image file that is partitioned on the hard drive but when I go to use it the app will run through a few steps and stop. It is running Vista . Any suggestions?

 

System Image Recovery/WIndows 10 Recovery Disk

Awesome! Thank you for the quick response. I just have a quick follow up question. Will creating a bootable Windows OS recovery disk on the same external HDD as my System Image Recovery interfere at all with accessing the System Image while attempting to
install it onto the new SSD? And is it even necessary to even use a Recovery Disc if I am recovering from a System Image?

I just logged in to Microsoft.com and saw that my laptop is indeed listed under devices.
