    How to make my own factory reset partition?


    Since my OS was installed from scratch, there is no factory reset partition.

    How would I create my own factory reset partition such that I can reset my PC from within the windows 10 reset button?
    I don't have the OEM disks thus, I need to imitate this as if I did using my install disks.
    Once this is done, then next up is to install my bloatware for all my apps I want to install.

    A reset partition doesnt really work unless its updated often a makers backup is months or even years old and when you use it there can be 1,000 of updates you better just using disk imaging and update it. We have a tutor on how to create a recovery partition How to recreate the Windows recovery partition.

    Also, additional problems with a full recovery partition are it takes a lot of space, and if drive fails, you lose ability to recover.

    Image backups on a different drive is far better idea.
