Best method for creating a Recovery Windows 10 Pro Disk and Entire Windows 10 Disk Image
Hi,
We have successfully restore our notebook to its operating system Windows 10 Pro.
We would like to do 2 things at this point:
1. Make a recovery disk that if the drive fails we can restore just the OS.
(the OS makes up around 24 gb)
(also, we want a recovery type disk that way we can recover Windows 10 Pro as it is now)
2. Also we would like to backup the entire drive, OS and DATA.
(both makes up around 200 gb)
What is EE recommendation on Recovery Disk & Backup?

Thanx!
To close the question,
What should we do first, second, etc?
1. Make a recovery disk of our current Windows install?
2. Then make a backup of all the drive or image? (clone we discarded due to lengthy as indicated)
Please advice on the proper sequential steps.

Ok.
best to make an image of the drive with all software and settings, but before putting the data on it
then make one WITH software and data - this way - you have a basic software to return to, + all data

When you say 'create the bootable image',
We were recommended last night DriveImage and EaseUS Partition Master for a first-time cloning.
So we can understand the jargon we have been reading these past days,
Lastly,
thank you all for these valuable help!
