In this article, we'll show you how to create a recovery drive for Windows 10 or Windows 11. A recovery drive is a bootable USB drive that contains the Windows installation files and your personal files. You can use a recovery drive to reinstall Windows if your computer experiences a major issue, such as a hardware failure or a virus infection.

Creating a recovery drive is a simple process that only takes a few minutes. Here's what you need to do:

1. Insert a USB drive into your computer.
2. Open the Control Panel.
3. Click on "System and Security."
4. Click on "Recovery."
5. Click on "Create a recovery drive."
6. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Once you've created a recovery drive, you should store it in a safe place. You may also want to consider creating a backup of your recovery drive in case the original is lost or damaged.

If you ever need to use your recovery drive, simply insert it into your computer and restart your computer. The computer will boot from the recovery drive and you'll be able to reinstall Windows.

Creating a recovery drive is a simple and important step that can help you protect your computer from major issues. We recommend that all Windows users create a recovery drive as soon as possible.
