How to Create a Windows Recovery Drive

⏱️ A Windows Recovery Drive can be used to restore Windows backups to your machine and much more. I'll show you how to create one.

⏱️ Creating a Recovery Drive
Search for and run the Recovery Drive app. Insert a USB thumb drive 16GB or larger. This drive will be completely erased. Follow the instructions in the app to create the recovery drive, making sure “Back up system files to the recovery drive” is checked. Be sure to test your ability to boot from the recovery drive after it’s been created.
