I bought a computer that came with Win8 and I replaced it with Win7 OEM on a new SSD. The problem is that I don't have a recovery partition that INCLUDES the drivers needed for the hardware. I just did a clean install using the OEM disk and now I have to download drivers all over again. I don't want to manually download the drivers each time I want to reboot in the future.
1. So, how can I create a recovery partition/backup that will allow me to reboot to the current settings (with all the drivers installed)?
Also, I googled "create bootable recovery partition" and the results showed two videos which both require downloading something called EasyBCD in order to create the bootable partition.
2. Is this software safe?
3. Is there something else I should do besides creating a bootable drive to achieve what I'm looking for: restoring my computer to a certain state before some problem happens in the future?
