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

Download Windows Media Creation Tool

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+ YouTube videos, I was able to override a "managed by organization" malware and do a Factory Reset! Thank you!

  • @Ograws
    Very good tutorials, always great to watch
  • @jed9894
    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.

  • @williamking4663
    Simply excellent, sir. Easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions that actually accomplish what you set out to do!
  • 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.
  • @vermillion6464

  • @trevorcoard8777
    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 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.
