  • And if it'll factory reset the device

  • What I wanna know does it work on other windows 10 devices

  • I created a Recovery USB for a Windows 10, Dell latitude 7480 laptop.
    The storage size used by Windows 10 to create a Recovery USB was close to 10 GB.
    It took Windows 10 a good 1-2 hours of writing to the USB to complete the recovery USB.

  • Recovery tool does not pickup the flash drive

  • could you recover with an ssd card?

  • The "reset your PC" option does not apear to me. I tried to reset my laptop many different ways and still doesn't want to reset.

  • This doesn't work for me. I get to where I boot into the recovery drive, but when I load into it and select the keyboard then troubleshoot I don't have the "Reset this PC, Recover from a drive, and Advanced options" options. Troubleshoot takes me directly to a page labeled "Advanced options" and the options I have are "Startup Repair, Command Prompt, Uninstall Updates, UEFI Firmware Settings, System Restore, and System Image Recovery." I really wish I knew why there is a discrepancy between our options.

  • Finally, someone who explains things properly. Thank you, you definitely deserve a like

  • Useless video! you did not show how to actually restore the PC????

  • I wish you showed the process of recovering it or going through with whatever method was selected.

  • Why is it when I create my recovery drive and then put in my new ssd it won’t allow me to recover from the drive. It says there a problem.
