Various malware, attacks, incompatible programs or glitches can reduce the stability of your Windows PC and cause instant reboots, crashes, performance issues, boot cycles, etc.
With these possibilities waiting to go wrong, Microsoft has found a way to keep it safe, the USB recovery drive. A USB recovery drive will help you troubleshoot your PC even if it won't boot.
You create it through Windows for later emergencies. Windows, while creating the USB, will store important information, files and backups on that USB that will help restore Windows to a working condition in case of a future failure. It will also contain some installation files and other files depending on the Windows version.
How do you create a recovery drive in Windows 10?
Step 1 - To create a recovery USB in Windows 10, you will need to open the Microsoft utility to create a recovery drive.
