This is so annoying. I have bought a USB stick and tried to create a recovery drive from a working W10 computer. But somehow, Windows will not allow it! Any ideas/suggestions?

:) No you don't, you have to use Create a Recovery Drive that's delivered with Windows 10 or even Windows 8.1 or 7. It can make a bootable USB without a problem. I just did it on this laptop to test it, before I mentioned it here.
You can even put a system backup on it, so you can use it to install Windows 10 on your system again, if your laptop would crash.
He probably tried to use "Create a Recovery Drive" which is included with Windows.
Just press the Start button and type "create a recovery drive" and you will find it. You can also find it in control panel somewhere, but I always use the search function of Windows to find it. I can type faster than I can click the mouse to find it.
Are...But is he or she following the exact instructions within the TenForums Guide "How to Create a USB Recovery Drive in Windows 10"
