This video has been a lifesaver to me. I'll never fear a blank screen again. Dave's explanation is better than all the gobbledygook from the manufacturer.
Just finished upgrading to windows 10 (from 7) and it works. You deserve all the credit...Just like Bryan said "clear, concise" and CORRECT information. I appreciate that you took the time to cover the possible pitfalls and how to correct them. Thank you for your video.
Have you encountered issues with your C drive being filled up with Windows 10 updates? I did after "upgrading" from Windows 7 to 10. I also discovered when I "upgraded" from 7 to 10, it didn't actually do a full upgrade. The main part of Windows called it Windows 10, but somewhere the settings screens called it Windows 7. A program called "Belarc Advisor" viewed it as Windows 8.1. Since the upgrade, it kept doing more updates than other people with Windows 10, making me think it was updating Windows 10 and 7 at the same time. It didn't delete installation files, either and it hid a lot of junk files that I didn't need. After a few years I ended up with a Windows 10 installation that was nearly 110GB! I've since done a clean installation of Windows 10. It was a royal pain in the butt! It has a different colour range for toolbars and some older programs won't work properly any more. Strangely, the original version of Age of Empires (game) works fine, but the newer, expanded edition won't run on Windows 10. Still, at least I'm not using Windows 11.
I reset my dell pc windows 10 and when i tried to start windows it shows the window logo and then it just hangs then I go into the window RE an it ask me is ask me for administrator password which I didn’t know.then I created a windows 10 bootable usb and install it but it just hangs does the same thing when I reset you think my harddrive went bad? Cuz I even type in the command prompt disk part list volumes and it show the partition with windows 10 says healthy but is like 450 gigabytes size that’s a huge size shouldn’t be like 3 gigabytes?
David, I would like to personally thank you for this fantastic video on the Windows 10 USB recovery drive. I completely overlooked making a recovery drive, after watching you video I went out and purchased a 16GB memory stick and fabricated my recovery drive. Your tutorial explained everything perfectly and making the recovery drive was exactly explained. Please keep up the great information and tutorials. Thank you, Jeff
after searching on line and getting confused by written explainations, found your youtube video, excellent clear youtube presentation. Thankyou so much
Very informative and knowledgeable video. Back in the 1990s I used to work for a company assembling and repairing Personal Computers and Windows 95 setup discs were included with each computer. It was relatively easy to reinstall or repair the operating system. I don’t understand why the manufacturers no longer include a setup disc for Windows 10 or even a built in disc drive. The very least they could do is provide a Windows 10 recovery USB stick to avoid causing people frustration.
but they like to make us believe that u r pc is gone and charge us for repairing or convenice us that to buy a new laptop ! and also they are the one who create viruses also
Just watched your 3 videos on Windows 10 recovery. I'm not IT savvy but your explanations are very good and even I can understand them. Thank you and keep up the good work. Chuck
Man, I am barely computer literate and just use my PC and laptop for novel writing, games, Quora and RUclips. Even I could follow your guide. That's awesome, thank you so much - I really appreciate it.
Very well done. I found no flaws in your explanation and have recommended your video to a friend, as I am not a good instructor. Ignore the thumbs downers. Excellent video! Thank you!
I know this was filmed 2 years ago but out of the many many videos that I have browsed in an effort to fix my laptop, yours was the only one where instructions were clear, to the point and actually worked! Where have you been all my life and WHEN are you coming back to RUclips??? You are definitely needed on here. From: New subscriber
Thank you you made it very easy to follow as I am a 76 year old man that still likes to learn new things I have been looking for someone like you for a long time once again thank you 👍👍👍
I'm not given anybody a thumbs down for a video, but I give isSyria's thumb down and the middle finger up to the PC manufacturers who go the cheap way and leave us hanging out to dry six or seven years later.
I just used your link to buy a USB Kingston drive from Amazon. I will use it to make a Recovery drive for the computer I am using to write this. I use this computer (Laptop) to write and produce a monthly newsletter for my golf group. The president of the group recently lost his files on his computer and needed a copy of our By-Laws. This reminded me that I need to backup my pc before I suffer the same lost files from my hard drive going bad. I have an external USB 2.0 hard drive that still works that I will copy my golf newsletters over or maybe make a image and do it the way you describe in your video. Thanks for the tip.
Very clear explanation. I just had the dreaded blue screen on my laptop which is very scary. I bought a 32 GB Sandisk and will get to work following your procedures. Thanks!
Absolutely agree with Bryan Leech, spent don't know how many HOURS ! trying to make a recovery disk on the pen drive (USB ?) read so many articles and even used the Drive Tool I downloaded to upgrade my good old Windows 7 to W10, the second time trying to make an ISO image and then using "Rufus" to create a Recovery Disk ... I am exhausted just remembering all those fails ! Nothing worked, until I decided to read your tutorial !! Piece of pie !! The recovery drive is being created as I type this hope it will all work OK this time. MANY MANY thanks and lots of "thumbs up" (sorry for the long comment)
Excellent helpful and informative video. For anyone having an issue with 'please wait' never-ending, in the search box search for recovery drive and right-click the option and choose Run as Administrator. Worked for me.
Hi. Thanks for making this video. It's awesome , really. Great quality , clean and concise explanation . It took me 8.6 GB and about 1 Hour to get it done . Again thanks, and keep up the good work ! 🙂
I've had trouble since last 4 days to backup. I messed up one time before so I was asking everyone how to do it. I saw your vid recommendation first, but I was lazy to go through to a 15 min vid(previous). But after finally learning nothing, I decided to give your videos a try and honestly every single thing you explained is perfect, concise and all details including. Others just showing a basic or missing out some info, but your vids are perfect. I don't subscribe to tech channels but you earned my red click. Thank you sir
Very good explanation. You nail the problems. If you make an image back up of your entire system (drive c:) you can restore the entire system again if Windows fail to boot. This is the only reason for me to make an image. In my opinion, the image is a rescue when you experience the worst case senario - your OS system brakes down. If your Windows is still working, but running with problems - there are a lot of possiblities to recover within your system. Thank you very much.
This was very helpful! I recently got stuck in a loop between failing automatic repair and BSoD where the ntfs.sys was the issue. Finally got windows up and running by switching the HDD to another SATA connection. Magic! Now I'm paranoid, and wanted to make something like this if and when the HDD goes bonkers again. At least this way I can switch to a new hardrive without much mess. Thanks for the easy clear instructions!
That was very useful . As for in windows 7 I once experienced a kidnapper who held my PC for ransom. To take it to a specialist to fix I might as well paid the ransom [right] but to wipe the drive clean and reinstall was painful to speak but I got my satisfaction and booted the kidnapper.
Wow! I didn't think it was this easy to back up my pc. I'm thinking about updating my Windows PC to the lastest update H21 but I'm afraid something might go wrong. You make it easy. Thanks a lot, I'll try this.
An extremely easy instruction sequence to follow with clear text of the also very clear audio; I shall revisit to sort out any other problems i may encounter. Many thanks AGG.
Just ordered a usb drive to do a recovery drive. Been in IT for 25 years and no I'm not dumb lol, always been able to fix windows and other platforms in the past. So know getting less time to do restores and fixes due to family time and Man Cave Time!. One tool I purchased a few months ago was Xtra-PC which cost about £35 for a flash drive that plugs into your computer's USB port. Within seconds, it bypasses your old, slow, operating system (Windows or Mac) and your up and running and able to restore data that you thought was lost. Well worth the £$£$£$£$.
Pro tip- use a 32GB thumb drive and save yourself some time. Most of my Windows 10 machines wouldn't create a recovery drive using anything smaller. They don't cost too much more.
Vyom Swami I think it can but you should make several partitions. So you allocate the back specifically over a partition so every time you back there and won’t affect the rest of your HDD. But this is just my thought I am a newbie so I haven’t done it
Thank you. Wish I had checked this out PRIOR to a non boot incident I recently suffered. Got it working again(motherboard boot order issue) but would have preferred to have had the recovery USB as a fallback. Nice clear instructions.
Placing in my two cents… this would also be of good use if you’ve installed a new drive (say, upgraded from a small to a larger SSD where the OS would boot from), as I’ve been there with a laptop drive replacement years back. Well explained!
OldRocker If we all knew how to do this computer stuff just think how many of these computer NERDS would be out of a job. I think they just code or write or whatever they do just to protect themselves and their jobs.
Thank you for marvellous video with clear and precise instructions. Do I need to reformat the USB stick from FAT to NTFS before I start making the recovery drive? Thank you.
Excellent instructions and easy step by step for us not so young and you make sense. Thank You and dont pay any attention to those uninformed giving thumbs down, they're just jealous
Thanks for making this brilliant tutorial! I've just made a Windows 10 installation USB stick. Now I'll have to buy a second one to make a recovery file. I have two disc drives in my current computer, with the default to check one of those for a Windows disc before checking elsewhere, so I'll make a DVD recovery disc too.
Hi Dave, I found your videos very helpful. Could you please write me how to Create a System Repair Disc on a USB. When I tried to create one ,it asks to connect DVD rewriter which I don't have. Cheers
I've updated my pc from windows 1803 to 1903 through windows update assistant, after installation everything is fine but I can't see any text on desktop apps from windows manager to task manager. Please make a video on how to fix this ?
Worked and thanks for making this!! I think it would have been helpful if you mentioned that Windows Security should be temporarily disabled. I did everything you said but after the hour or so it said it couldn't be completed. At the same time a Windows Security pop up came up saying something was blocked for security purposes. I turned off the Windows Security and started from the beginning (worked this time).
it happens to me too. i bought 4 new flash drives. 32GB/each. I tried about 10 times. every time when created the file to about 3.84GB, computer stopped and said: " Can't create recovery drive."
@@badmiddens Dude you have to realize that there are all kinds of people with a vast array of experiences that are searching for solutions to their problems. Starting with the simple and working to the complex will cover the inexperience to the experienced.
Thank you Dave, you make these tasks so easy to do and understand. Would you please do a video on how to erase a flash drive completely and then to be able to reuse it. Thank you.
Excellent video - concise, clearly-stated and bang-on relevant to it's title - exactly the reminder of 'how to do it' I was looking for. Many thanks for a truly useful video.

I tried to make a recovery drive using HP recovery tool but the tool locked up. I used your method and it worked. Glad I found your channel.

Nothing I tried seemed to work so I had to use the recovery from drive but you were by far the most descriptive and helpful person I've seen.
Using a USB 3.1 decreases the time about ten-fold. It's a very noticeable difference. It's a must!
David Walker also depends on the read and write speed of the USB drive.

Can i use the recovery usb drive for regular data transfer (after i had done my recovery on the same usb drive)?

It's easy to do this with Aomei backup, this one can also make WinRE when it is missing, really helpful.
You are the best person on planet earth youve got your self 1 subscrber :D keep up the good work
Thanks for making this brilliant tutorial! I've just made a Windows 10 installation USB stick. Now I'll have to buy a second one to make a recovery file. I have two disc drives in my current computer, with the default to check one of those for a Windows disc before checking elsewhere, so I'll make a DVD recovery disc too.
My WinRE is missing have no clue to repair my computer, have nor recovery disk either, what to do?
Reinstall Windows.
I've suscribeded.Like how youre video goes right into the subject.
Hi Dave,
I found your videos very helpful. Could you please write me how to Create a System Repair Disc on a USB. When I tried to create one ,it asks to connect DVD rewriter which I don't have.

I'm here because I watched your tutorial on how to create a system image backup ! so.... Thank you for uploading both videos .. very nice and neat!
I've updated my pc from windows 1803 to 1903 through windows update assistant, after installation everything is fine but I can't see any text on desktop apps from windows manager to task manager. Please make a video on how to fix this ?
Good to see a simple explanation
Outstanding! Thank you! Exactly what I needed.
Followed your instructions and everything worked as you have shown. Mine took 1 hour and 14 minutes on my HP Laptop.
Glad it worked, thanks for letting us know.
thank you, very clear..!!
Worked and thanks for making this!! I think it would have been helpful if you mentioned that Windows Security should be temporarily disabled. I did everything you said but after the hour or so it said it couldn't be completed. At the same time a Windows Security pop up came up saying something was blocked for security purposes. I turned off the Windows Security and started from the beginning (worked this time).
Can I do(install recovery) that from my friends laptop and boot my laptop to get my files recovered?
No
MAN YOUR SAVED MY COMPUTER ,S LIFE THANK S YOUR MY HERO
It keeps telling me "can't create recovery drive", I tried USB flash, hard drive and SD card, keeps telling me the same thing
it happens to me too. i bought 4 new flash drives. 32GB/each. I tried about 10 times. every time when created the file to about 3.84GB, computer stopped and said: " Can't create recovery drive."
Best tutorial of all time. A Spanish tutorial would last 45 minutes
See, how easy was that?
Can I do this with a phone as the USB I can use my charger but will it mess my phone up?
Like will it delete everything I have on it
Definitely don’t do this
Thank you so much I was about to do this I will get a USB I almost ruined my note 9 :D
That would be a very expensive usb stick! Good luck :)
Excellent! Very well explained, simple, precise and great English pronunciation.
Will I be able to use the recovery drive I made for my laptop on a different pc ?
you should be able
Thank you Dave there's a bunch of other videos that explain the process.
But it's in Hindi 🙄
You made it sensibly simple
Can i create an recovery drive from a different pc/windows
yes
Awesome video! Worked like a charm, had no issues making a recovery drive.
2.5 minutes until he actually plugs in the memory stick and starts.
omg 2.5 whole minutes! how did you cope?
😂
@@badmiddens this is something my mother would say.

If I choose go back to the previous version, all my files and data should be still there and not loss right?
They should be there, but please do a backup just in case.
