       How to create a Recovery Drive
       Step 1: Launching the Backup Application
       In order to create a backup, we need to access the correct
       software. To do this, you need to right-click on the start
       button and click on “Control Panel” (If you cannot find it in
       this list, you need to search for Control Panel using the search
       bar in the windows start menu) Now you need to click on “File
       History”. While in File History, click the System Image Backup
       link in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
       Step 2: Choosing a Backup Device
       Now you need to make sure that you have a USB Drive with a
       decent amount of free space. On the backup wizard, you'll be
       prompted to choose from one of the three options to save the
       backup. For this example, we are going select the hard drive you
       just connected. However, keep in mind that you can backup to DVD
       blanks and a network share, but these options will slow down the
       backup process. Once you have completed this, click on NEXT to
       proceed.
       Step 3: Backing up the Data
       Now you are ready to start the process of backing up your files.
       Click on the START BACKUP button once you are ready to start.
       Remember - The backup could take anywhere from 10 minutes to 2
       hours, it all depends on the amount of data to be backed up.
       During this process, you are still able to use your computer as
       normal
       Step 4: Restoring the backup (Optional)
       To restore your computer from the backup, connect the drive with
       the system image backup and reboot your computer with the
       Windows installation media. During the Windows Setup, click
       Next, then click the Repair your computer link in the
       bottom-left corner of the screen. Click on Troubleshoot, click
       Advanced options and select System Image Recovery. Now select
       the target operating system you want to recover, click Next and
       Finish.
       You have successfully created a recovery drive to help fix your
       computer if it fails to start.
