So, it’s critical that you maintain a backup of all of your critical files and folders. whereas backing up your files and folders is a good idea, windows helps you to create a backup of the complete operating system, which let you restore or repair a home windows PC to operating situation.

Windows 7 introduced the ability to create a recovery drive or disk and home windows 10 too consists of the characteristic. However, the choice is a little buried within the control Panel. So, with none in addition ado, here’s how you can create a recovery drive or disk in Windows 10:

Note: A 64-bit recovery image can only be used to repair or restore PCs running the 64-bit version of Windows 10. The same goes for the 32-bit version as well.

What You Need:

• 1 GB or above (depending on your data) USB flash drive or an empty disk.
• CD/DVD drive (if using the disk method)
• A working version of Windows 10

Creating a Recovery Drive

• Open Control Panel and search for “Recovery” through the search box in the top right. From the results, click on “Create a recovery drive” option, under the System section.

• After you have accepted the prompts, the Recovery Drive dialog box will open up. Here, you can choose to back up system files or not.

Note: We’d recommend you to back up system files, however that will result in the process taking longer time. For instance, when we backed up the system files, the size of the recovery was below 4 GB and when we unchecked the option to back up system files, the size was below 512 MB.

• Then, you’ll have to choose the USB flash drive. Just select the drive and click “Next”.  Then, a warning will be shown to you suggesting that the USB flash drive will be formatted and you will lose whatever files you have in the drive. So, it’s important to ensure that you don’t have any important files in the drive.

• The recovery process will then start up. It will take around 20 minutes if you are backing up system files and less than 5 minutes otherwise.

• After it’s finished, you will see your USB flash drive renamed “Recovery”, with the recovery files.

Creating a Recovery Disk

• Open Control Panel on Windows 10 and search for “Backup and Restore”. Select the first results that says “Backup and Restore (Windows 7)”.

• In the Backup & Restore page, click on the option in the left bar that says “Create a system repair disk”.

• Then, select the DVD drive and click on “Create disk”.

• The process will then start and your recovery disk will be created.
