Windows 10 – How To Create a System Repair or Boot CD or DVD Disc

How to create system repair disk pr DVD/CD Windows 10.

Windows 8 and 10 let you to create a recovery drive (USB) or system repair disc (CD or DVD) that you can use to troubleshoot and restore your computer. Each type of recovery media gives you access to Windows’ advanced startup options, but there are differences between the two options.

The system repair disc has been around since the Windows 7 days. It is a bootable CD/DVD that contains tools you can use to troubleshoot Windows when it won’t start correctly. The system repair disc also gives you tools for restoring your PC from an image backup that you’ve created. The recovery drive is new to Windows 8 and 10. It’s a bootable USB drive that gives you access to the same troubleshooting tools as a system repair disc, but also allows you to reinstall Windows if it comes to that. To achieve this, the recovery drive actually copies the system files necessary for reinstallation from your current PC.

Which Recovery/Repair Tool Should You Create?

While you can use both tools to access the Windows advanced boot options for troubleshooting startup, we recommend using a USB-based recovery drive when possible, since it contains all the same tools as the system repair disc, and then some. That said, there’s no reason not to go ahead and create both, and in fact, there are a couple of reasons you might want to create a system repair disc as well:

If your PC cannot boot from USB, you’ll need the CD/DVD-based system repair disc.

The USB-based recovery drive is tied to the PC that you used to create it. Having a system repair disc around will let you troubleshoot startup problems on different PCs running the same version of Windows.

Like we said, though, both tools will let you access the advanced boot options and other recovery tools if you can’t access them any other way. Also, know that the recovery drive backs up the system files necessary to reinstall Windows, but you should not consider it a back up. It does not back up your personal files or installed applications. So, be sure to keep your PC backed up, as well.
