How To Create A Recovery Partition In Windows 10

Inactive profile

Hi Benyamin,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. Let me assist you.

If Windows 10 was preinstalled on your computer and it's an OEM copy you would be having a recovery partition on your hard drive. You cannot assign the partition according to your partition. To create the system image you have to type "Recovery" on the Search bar and select Recovery. Then select "Create a recovery drive" and follow the on screen instructions.

It is recommended to create a System recovery drive on an external hard disk or drive. Refer the below link for instructions to create a recovery drive on a USB drive.

Thanks!

Hope my little knowledge of the important things of the universe might help you thru your problems.

From Microsoft http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/help-upgrade-windows-10 , under "Can i go back to my old operating system", "Note: If the manufacturer set up your PC to run from a compressed Windows image file (also known as Windows image file boot or WIMBoot) and included the option to restore factory settings, that option will no longer be available after you upgrade to Windows 10."

it will create a 450 MB

recovery partition after upgrading to Windows 10, but that's for Windows recovery options. I know how to make a similar one like on OEMs of preinstalled computers with third party software, but without......
