Create a Recovery Drive
A recovery drive can help you troubleshoot and fix problems with your PC, even if it
won’t start. To create one, all you need is a USB flash drive. Windows will inform you
of the capacity required for the USB flash drive.
1. From the taskbar, search for Create a recovery drive and then select it. You
might be asked to enter an admin password or confirm your choice.
2. When the tool opens, make sure Back up system files to the recovery drive is
selected and then select Next.
3. Connect a USB drive to your PC, select it, and then select Next > Create. A lot of
files need to be copied to the recovery drive, so this might take a while.
4. When it’s done, select Finish.
Note: If you chose not to back up system files when you created your recovery drive
on Windows 10, you won’t be able to use it to reinstall Windows.
Recovery options in Windows 10
If your PC isn’t running as quickly or reliably as it used to, try one of these recovery
options. The following table can help you decide which one to use.
Problem Try this
Your PC isn’t working well and you recently
installed an app, driver, or update.
Restore from a system restore point
Your PC isn’t working well and it’s been a
while since you installed anything new.
Reset your PC
Your PC won’t start and you’ve created a
recovery drive.
Use a recovery drive to reinstall Windows
Your PC won’t start and you haven’t created
a recovery drive.

Restore from a system restore point
This option takes your PC back to an earlier point in time, called a system restore
point. Restore points are generated when you install a new app, driver, or Windows
update, and when you create a restore point manually. Restoring won’t affect your
personal files, but it will remove apps, drivers, and updates installed after the restore
point was made.
