I have recently loaded up Windows 8.1 onto a new SSD and then upgraded it to Window 10.
1) I now want to create a recovery disc AND USB so I have 2 means of recovery for what I have installed and setup so far on my SSD.
I want this recovery disc AND USB to simply recover in the event my SSD crashes. If this happens, I want to install the new SSD, and simply boot to this recovery disc or USB to recover and BOOM be right where I am now.
2) After step 1, once I create this recovery disc and USB, I want to test it out NOW to ensure it will actually recover!
I also want to do this ALL via Windows 10...I do not want to do any linux ubuntu crap or 3rd party software please!
However, I am not seeing any instructions on doing both step 1 and 2...I see an awful lot about how to create the recovery, but I fail to see that same information extended to then verifying the recovery to work...I am a technical person...however, I am not seeing an easy set of instructions on this or just have not been successful in finding good information...so I now look to you, please help!
