Trouble creating a recovery drive...Please help

I am running Windows 10 Pro on my desktop PC. I recently cloned my 250GB SSD to a bigger 1TB SSD using EaseUS software. I then disconnected the 250 and installed the 1TB and the PC booted with no problem and all my things were there. I then tried to create a recovery drive on a USB thumb drive and I am getting this error message.



Question? Is this bc of the clone I did? I have the windows installation CD. Do I even need a recovery drive if god forbid I ever need to do fresh install of Windows 10 Pro? Thanks

Not exactly clear what you mean by "recovery drive".

Post a screen shot of Windows Disk Management if possible, showing all partitions on the new cloned 1 TB drive.

If you ever want to do a clean install, the first step would be to use Microsoft's Media Creation Tool (MCT) to make a bootable Windows 10 installer on a USB flash drive.

Thank you. Here is the cloned 1TB drive of "screen shot of Windows Disk Management"



Please post instructions or link to create the MCT. Thanks for all your help. 🙂🙂

Download Windows 10 ISO File

Take a look at the above. It links to option 5 that might be suitable for you.

I haven't used the link lately, but it worked fine when I last did.

Start from the top of the link and choose whichever is suitable.

The option to choose depends on which version of Win 10 you might want to clean install.

You can get the ISO directly or by using the Media Creation Tool.

The ISO can then be used to make a bootable installation USB stick.

Use option 5 or 6 to get older ISO files directly.

Use option 1 to get the latest ISO from Microsoft using the Media Creation Tool.

Use option 3 to get the latest ISO directly from Microsoft.
