Create Recovery Drive in Windows 10

As a matter of fact, I had the same question as guitardis.
Differences Recovery Drive vs USB created by Media Creation tool.
Whilst using 'Recovery Drive' and Windows 10 with 'errors' in the eventlogs, will the issues causing these errors also be transferred to the Recovery Drive?
Meaning that when recovering from this drive, the same issues, causing event log errors, are then restored as well?

Hello tfwul, :)

The better of the two to have would be the Windows 10 installation USB.

Think recovery drive as basic WinRE (advanced startup options). If you check Back up system files to the recovery drive, then you will also be able to refresh and reset Windows. Unless the default image included in Windows is corrupted, your error will not affect the recovery drive to have them back again after a refresh or reset.

Recover Windows 10 from a Recovery Drive

USB created by Media Creation tool is full blown Windows 10 installation media. It includes the same as the recovery drive above, but you can also clean and upgrade install Windows with it.

I tried using the windows 10 Recovery drive , and sorry to say it did not help me at all

I tried all options restore without my files restore with my files restore doing a clean install

it kept on giving me a message some how that my HDD is not Something i dont remember

I was more shocked when i wanted to do the clean install and it still did not work

this usb recovery is no use for me

You can't do a clean install with a recovery drive. You need installation media for that instead.
