- How to Create Windows 10 System Recovery Partition
In this video we are going to be creating a recovery partition in our windows 10 operating system, you can also do this on other versions of windows like Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and 8.1.
Why should I do this?
If you're computer becomes infected with malware or you PC is suffer from registry corruption and you receiving a BSOD. You can use this recovery partition to reinstall windows, its basically a copy of windows store on a small partition, that lets you install windows from, without a CD or USB. We will be using EasyBCD and Windows Media Creation Tool
Download EasyBCD

Warning: Before you follow this video, make sure you backup all your data and create a image of your machine.
So if your computer crashes and you want to put your machine back to default settings, you can use this method, just remember to backup your data first.
There is software you can use to do this for you which will probably work better for you, I have made videos show on how to use this type of software.

This is a super useful way to clean install windows when you don't have a usb or dvd to boot from as well. Thanks Brainy Brian :)
After 8 hours and 15+ RUclips videos, I was able to override a "managed by organization" malware and do a Factory Reset! Thank you!
I love the way he explains his videos , it make them easy to understand.
Very well said. I have my own system recovery partition now always a must just in case of an emergency. Thanks a lot for the video :)
Thank you for the useful HOWTO.
I followed the directions and it worked perfectly.
You now have a new follower.
Thank you, I enjoy watching your videos. They are very clear and precise not to mention helpful
Still useful in 2021 incredible and you don’t need a disk or usb, the man is a legend
so if my laptop EFI system is active, do i need to disable this cause when i run the software, i am told that my EFI system is on, and the Add entry button in the right hand corner after the boot.wim is added is missing or not shown.
Very good tutorials, always great to watch
Excellent video, and very easy to follow. As an aside, learned how to snap two windows to left and right of the main window - duh! - never knew you could do that. How many other useful shortcuts have I missed out on. Maybe a cue for a new "SImple Windows 10 Shortcuts that you did not know" tutorial? That would be very useful to me. Keep up the good work....
You've probably just saved my ass big time, thank you so much! Wish I had known this sooner!
Simply excellent, sir. Easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions that actually accomplish what you set out to do!
great stuff been useing your channel while now explained brilliant thanks again brian
Many Thanks. So nicely explained. This video helped me to create Recovery Disk for Windows 10 on my Laptop.
Thank you so much. Very well explained and you didn't go too fact. I appreciate you doing this.
Thank you so much mr britech. May god bless you. And continue to help anyone. More power
This technique only copies the windows install media to the rocovery partition and allows you to select it from a boot menu. What about drivers and other system settings? I don't want to go through the hassle of doing a clean install again!. Is there a way to create a recovery partition which is a backup of your current system so when you select it from the boot menu it will restore your system from the recovery partition to the system partition? P.S I already know about AOMEI OneKey. I want to emulate what OneKey does....
Look into creating a sysprep image. It is A LOT more involved, but keeps all the settings and programs.
This is great for fixing it when it wont start, and win 10 has a built in refresh option.
You can also use a program like Acronis or Norton Ghost to create a complete image of your drive/partition. This will be a complete copy of your installed OS, all programs, data, and settings. The image can be placed in a separate partition or on another drive, and/or be external (USB, optical, etc.). The only drawbacks are: every time you make any changes to your computer, you must create the image anew; any problems, such as malware, broken links, etc. that are on your system when you make the image will also be returned after you perform a restoration. The best way to get around this (for those with discipline), is to get in the habit of making images on a regular basis, so you can always go back to different images until you get the one that is in the best condition. This is essentially what businesses do. Also, you should keep data on a separate drive or partition altogether, so that you only have to worry about problems with the OS and applications, not with lost data.
Nice tutorial and works beautifully on my notebook with GPT/UEFI partition scheming. I reinstalled Windows with that method. And the result? a clean fresh install and BootManager didn't modify the boot entries made previously. So after reinstalling, the link to the bootable recovery partition is still there.
Excellent hands on instructions. 👍🏽
Wow! So detailed and descriptive.. thanks
Very useful - thank you Keep up the good work
This is wonderful. Very strait-forward.
hi instead of installing windows
can i use its repair windows feature instead?
is there a way to do recovery without EasyBCD link? Ussialy my recovery partition is hidden and when I go to Settings - Recovery - Reset PC it uses recovery files from that hidden partition.
Omg thank you so much god bless you I was having so many issue with my computer but you saved my life
Awesome, u just saved my life! Thank you so much!
very useful, clear and easy. thanks
AWESOME.... Just what I needed!!!
Brilliant thank you easy to follow.
How can I Defrag System Partition?
My Disk Defragmentation shows 100% fragmented status for the System Partition, and nothing happens even after Optimizing.
Michael Caine, I mean Britec, beautiful instruction!! Thnx
Brian, Your instructional video was incredibly helpful to me. I have a new computer and wanted to wipe the drive of the old machine and at least put a copy of Windows on it. Thus, a little different process from what you showed here, but I gathered much confidence of how to do what I wanted to accomplish by watching this. Your explanation was extremely clear. Thanks, much.
Ι don't understand what is the MediaMeta.xml file. This is not in download iso file when open it with winrar. Can you please explain me what is that?
Spot on you've done it again!!
Awesome guide thank you VERY much!
Also if your system already has a recovery drive from the manufacturer which as been corrupted I.E it wont recover from it. Could use an image file of the C:/ drive to replace that?
hi
I have hp pavilion signature edition model ab292nr. It is slowing down. i have genuine os windows 10 didn't do any partition can you help me in solving in this prob.
Britec09
what about Windows re-activation after clean install if windows is pre-installed (OEM version)..I suppose there is no other way get back again genuine windows ??
Could I do this on a thumb skick/usb drive so I could have a fresh complete copy of 10 and a recovery drive or would that just be redundant. Does a recovery drive have the same use as a entire fresh Windows 10 copy?
You are a saver of lives. However, I think it's not getting the number of likes it deserves because, you see, what I was looking for was "how install windows 10 on HDD directly/without DVD/USB". (and I think much more frequently asked) And it's not until I see your video linked a 2nd time that I realized that this video answers my question.
if i delete partitions, install fresh win.10... will my windows key be deleted as well?
i mean... when i reinstall via iso recovery, do i still need a key?
Do I have to use EasyBCD, or can I just download the windows 10 media creation tool, and transfer the file over to the recovery partition, and be done with out any third party software?
Thank you for the videos keep up the great work
Does the recovery partition have to be a primary partition, or can it be a logical partition? The only reason I ask is that I remember hearing someone say that you can't boot off of a logical partition. (Also, I don't have any primary partitions left on my machine because I am dual booting Win 10 and linux.) Thanks.
Hello. I am trying to reinstall Windows 10 and the HP software that came with my laptop using a HP recovery USB drive. The old hard drive went out and a new one was installed by the person I purchased the laptop from. How do I make create a usable separate recovery partition (like HP originally used) on the HD that will hold the HP files I need?
I love this tutorial, I actually used it as an alternative to my Acer's eRecovery because my laptop came with windows 7 and after I installed windows 10 if I ever used eRecovery it would revert back to windows 7 which I did not want. I like having the convenience of having Windows setup files already on the HDD instead of having to keep extra discs around, tho I probably will burn the iso to a disc since I gave my original to my brother to update his laptop a long time ago and never got it back..lol.
My question is, if you delete or do a fresh install, that is not going to overwrite the boot record is it? I'm not too familiar with the MBR. But I have had to repair the MBR from a disc before, I'm assuming if you by accident clicked repair MBR it would overwrite the modified boot record and you would have to download a MBR editor to access that Recovery partition again wouldn't you?
I won’t i tried yesterday I installed 1703 and the bcd wasn’t overwritten
i had friend come to me two days ago she had this issus so i gave it go and now i have her pc working now thank you so much
Hello, after I bought a new laptop Acer Aspire 7 A715-75G I've installed Windows 10. On the installation menu partition manager told me that Windows will created additional partitions I clicked Ok and MSR 16 MB and WINDRIVER 8 GB partition were created. I wanted to test something and I've reinstalled Windows 10 on same laptop and I deleted all previous partitions. After that I clicked Ok when Windows asked me about additional partition that will be created and I was surprise that WINDRIVER wasn't there. Why this happened and how can I get it back that WINDRIVER partition on the list?
In my case I have two recovery partitions and cannot enable reagentc, it says cannot update boot config. Also I cannot boot into safe mode. Is there anyway to enable reagentc without creating another recovery partition?
This literally saved my life, thank you
AWESOME BUDDY ,I DIDNT SEE VIDEO ,THANKS
I just want to ask if i can backup my system and create a recovery image from that and remove the partition label so that it in any case i can boot and recover from that?
Thank you... Very good and useful video.
Excellent video. Thank you v much
Hey...Great to see this...Thanks...But Had a little query...
Do I need to keep the Easy BCD still installed after I have created and Enlisted the Recovery Partition successfully?
No you can uninstall it even I Didi it
@@MegaVimalsharma Where do you get the free Easy BCD? I can't find it for free.
Link in the description
Whenever I copy the ISO files over to the recovery (similar to the video's instructions) I get a message that says that I require permissions, presumably from the administrator (which is me), to make changes to the file "etwproviderinstall" (A VBScript File). I am lost on what to do. Please help???
I already had a recovery disk partitioned in my pc and it is about 7GB
When I'm resetting my PC it is warning me that some Hp,Intel drivers are going to get deleted and I have to reinstall them from Internet or flash drive.

how do you creat a recovery partition using the current system setting ? like drivers etc etc i dont want to use a fresh iso . is that possible?
after install is all complete can you remove the bcd software or does it have to stay installed for the recovery to work
Can i remove drive letter from the recovery drive? For obvious safety reasons. Will the boot selector still work?

If I created win 10 partition following this guide about 7 months
ago,while win 10 was still free,will I be able to reinstall windows
now?please help :)
i went to disk management and it says already that i have a partition 450mb healthy (recovery partition) and next to that 750mb healthy (recovery partition) the problem was that i couldnt boot from the 450mb partion which has the original recovery to factory win10 even after pressing the F11 key (Dell XPS 9343) so i used an external usb win10 iso file that i downloaded from microsoft using the tool you just mentioned thats probably the 750mb partition that shows up..my question is what happend to the original recovery partition that is still on my pc but i cannot access when i press the f11 key at boot up? i gotta use the f12 boot up to usb screen ? can you help please? maybe i should just delete the two partitions (45mb+750mb) and use your tutorial for a new recovery partition?but then how do i make the default boot up with the original f11 key ... would that work you think? please advise thanks
i can send you a screen shot of the Disk Management scenario please advise thanks because i cant understand it and theres no option to delete those partitions is there?
and if you want to boot straight to windows 10 welcome screen or have the option of clicking f11 after clicking power up button can you have pc do that also? or does it automatically go to the windows 10/windows 10 recovery screen?
+Britec09 every time I try to reformat my pc, it just says patition drive is missing. will this help me?
the windows after the installation from the recovery partition is not activated... How do i retain my genuine copy.. also the inbuilt drivers and settings..?
yo i have a problem with my computer i wanna reset it but its keep on saying "Could not find the recovery environment ,insert your Windows installation or recovery media, and restart your PC with the media" how do i fix it ?
Thanks for the video man 👍🏻
You said near the end of the video something about installing Windows on top of Windows. Is this a doable thing which might fix a non-booting Windows? In particular, one that goes through an Automatic Repair/Diagnosing your PC loop?
Yes it will
couldn't you do the same using DISM and sysprep to create a install.wim then have that under the windows re environment to reset to that image
Thank you I downloaded a file and it had Trojan and malware on it now I have a clean computer
And I have a RUclips channel and it would've been bad
did it again cause my computer was glitching when i started it up works perfectly.
Okay Okay, Chill now xD
What if i choose USB flash drive instead of ISO file ?
vrey helpful! consultation, which version corresponds to the "Pro"?
"Windows 10" or "Windows 10 N" thx!
Thank you so much
Is there a way to make it into the F11 partition? Kind of looks sloppy upon boot
Hi Thanks for your help, why u have deleted System reserved partition ? do we need it ? why does it exit in the first place please ? does any one have some clarification thanks in advance
Hello sir, I want to know that ...can I delete the iso file from my C drive after moving it to seperate recovery drive as you have shown ?
Yes, of course you can.
The windows 10 iso is 3.37 GB, can I make the partition for 3.40 GB or is that not enough? I'd rather not waste space if possible.
When I click on shrink volume I cannot create 6GB as it does not allow me more than 3GB! My C drive is 480SSD. Ay ideas?
thank you excellent job works on my laptop and computer very happy with the software highly recommended job well done. once again thank you Britec09
Thank you man keep going
Thank you... You are my Hero
Thanks Brian, great video
+Ghostly Muffin You're welcome.
Very useful,,thanks
I have a window 10 32bit window now,can I install a window 10 64bit from recovery partition in window 10 32bit...plz reply me as soon as possible.
ty for the video but u can do the same think with a windows cd right?
Is it safe to keep the recovery partition as hidden? Will the recovery still run?
hi britec
your videos are very helpfull thanks
if i hide the recovery partition can i still reinstall windows
Is this new recovery partition literally the same as the one one you get when you clean install?
sam question for me. the 'original' recovry partition in my experience has 1go or 500mb unlike this one which seems to be +6go. that's still nice solution but I was asking myself if it was possible to (re) create the original recovry partition and how is it different to this recovry partition (which is full windows installation)
hi britec again
is this the formation of a new laptop as if it came from the manufacturer
meaning hp dell
After this video, I shoul redo the Bcd step right?
Hi britec my pc does this but the boot manager looks different, it still works fine but I wonder if it's ok
Very helpful!
very helpful thank you
thanks looks helpful
But there is a disadvantage in this system. What if windows (boot) won't start anymore? Is it possible to write e.g. a *.bat file in the recovery directory to start it without any menu? With F8 (PC) or F12 (Notebook), depending on the machine, one can choose the HD to boot from.
As there are many persons installing dual systems you may hint on that, too. I have e.g. Win10, Mint, and Ubuntu on my notebook running. I installed the Linuxes with the "/" option just each in a partition on its own. But EasyBCE links to the same Linux boot no matter if I choose Mint or Linux. So a linux menu comes up first showing Ubuntu and then Mint and Windows. Windows 10 ist the one starting if nothing happens. But choosing Mint will thus caus the linux menu to appear and does not automatically start Mint. So I change the second menu as "Linux: Mint & Ubuntu". As Mint is my favorate one I'd like to start it when I chose Mint in the menu. In EasyBCD I had given the right partition (each a different one, Mint on HD0, Ubuntu and Windows HD1). This could be your next video to create.
I have ...
Win10, L. Mint on PC-1
Mint and Win10 on PC-2 (starts with linux menu as my wife wants to work with mint. She hates to constant updating Windows does).
Win10, Mint on our Netbook
Win10, Mint and Ubuntu on my Notebook
At work I have one PC with Win10 & Linux Mint
do I have to switch to legacy settings in the bios?
