I successfully migrated my W10 to a Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD.

Afterwards I thought to create a recovery USB drive for this installation.

The command fails, however, complaining it can't create the drive because of missing System Files.

I have the old HDD around with its recovery partition, and indeed the entire old system partition and all.

What's the easiest way to proceed.

I'm NOT a windows savvy hacker: I'm more like a real Unix guy, growing up on Solaris and BSD from the eighties on....

It speaks Swedish, so I can but try to translate:
Here's what it says, sort of:

A recovery drive cannot be created.
Certain necessary files are missing. Use the installation disc to troubleshoot boot problems.

I'd REALLY like to avoid swapping disks again....
