  • One of the first things you should do with your Windows 10 computer is make a recovery USB drive. Then if it every stops working, you have a tool that should be able to help you fix it.

    David, I would like to personally thank you for this fantastic video on the Windows 10 USB recovery drive. I completely overlooked making a recovery drive, after watching you video I went out and purchased a 16GB memory stick and fabricated my recovery drive. Your tutorial explained everything perfectly and making the recovery drive was exactly explained. Please keep up the great information and tutorials. Thank you, Jeff

    This video has been a lifesaver to me. I'll never fear a blank screen
    again. Dave's explanation is better than all the gobbledygook
    from the manufacturer.

    Just finished upgrading to windows 10 (from 7) and it works. You deserve all the credit...Just like Bryan said "clear, concise" and CORRECT information. I appreciate that you took the time to cover the possible pitfalls and how to correct them. Thank you for your video.

      Have you encountered issues with your C drive being filled up with Windows 10 updates? I did after "upgrading" from Windows 7 to 10.
      I also discovered when I "upgraded" from 7 to 10, it didn't actually do a full upgrade. The main part of Windows called it Windows 10, but somewhere the settings screens called it Windows 7. A program called "Belarc Advisor" viewed it as Windows 8.1.
      Since the upgrade, it kept doing more updates than other people with Windows 10, making me think it was updating Windows 10 and 7 at the same time. It didn't delete installation files, either and it hid a lot of junk files that I didn't need. After a few years I ended up with a Windows 10 installation that was nearly 110GB!
      I've since done a clean installation of Windows 10. It was a royal pain in the butt! It has a different colour range for toolbars and some older programs won't work properly any more. Strangely, the original version of Age of Empires (game) works fine, but the newer, expanded edition won't run on Windows 10.
      Still, at least I'm not using Windows 11.

    I know this was filmed 2 years ago but out of the many many videos that I have browsed in an effort to fix my laptop, yours was the only one where instructions were clear, to the point and actually worked! Where have you been all my life and WHEN are you coming back to UA-cam??? You are definitely needed on here.

    I've had trouble since last 4 days to backup. I messed up one time before so I was asking everyone how to do it. I saw your vid recommendation first, but I was lazy to go through to a 15 min vid(previous). But after finally learning nothing, I decided to give your videos a try and honestly every single thing you explained is perfect, concise and all details including. Others just showing a basic or missing out some info, but your vids are perfect. I don't subscribe to tech channels but you earned my red click. Thank you sir

    This was very helpful! I recently got stuck in a loop between failing automatic repair and BSoD where the ntfs.sys was the issue. Finally got windows up and running by switching the HDD to another SATA connection. Magic! Now I'm paranoid, and wanted to make something like this if and when the HDD goes bonkers again. At least this way I can switch to a new hardrive without much mess.
    Thanks for the easy clear instructions!

    Very informative and knowledgeable video. Back in the 1990s I used to work for a company assembling and repairing Personal Computers and Windows 95 setup discs were included with each computer. It was relatively easy to reinstall or repair the operating system. I don’t understand why the manufacturers no longer include a setup disc for Windows 10 or even a built in disc drive. The very least they could do is provide a Windows 10 recovery USB stick to avoid causing people frustration.

      They add a recovery partition, but let's be frank, most people hard recovering windows is usually due to SSD failure. So having the backup on the hardware that eventually dies and warrants the recovery is infuriating.

    I just used your link to buy a USB Kingston drive from Amazon. I will use it to make a Recovery drive for the computer I am using to write this. I use this computer (Laptop) to write and produce a monthly newsletter for my golf group. The president of the group recently lost his files on his computer and needed a copy of our By-Laws. This reminded me that I need to backup my pc before I suffer the same lost files from my hard drive going bad. I have an external USB 2.0 hard drive that still works that I will copy my golf newsletters over or maybe make a image and do it the way you describe in your video. Thanks for the tip.

    It keeps telling me "can't create recovery drive", I tried USB flash, hard drive and SD card, keeps telling me the same thing
