Windows 8 upgrade Recovery Disk

I have upgraded to Windows 8 from Win 7. I want to create a recovery disk for Windows 8, just in case something goes wrong. I didn't find the option of creating it from the control panel.

How do I create a Recovery CD/DVD?

Solution 1:

I could not find a direct way to create a disc. If you do not have a flash drive in your computer however, the Recovery Drive wizard will prompt you to create a disc instead.

Start by opening the Search panel. Make sure to select Settings, search for "Recovery", then select Create a recovery drive

The rest is pretty much a click-through. If you want to make a disc instead of a USB, make sure you don't have any removable media inserted. It seems you can also create a copy of the OEM restore now!

Solution 2:

It is done by creating recovery USB drives. Like so:

Solution 3:

Another method to create a system repair disc is to search using "recdisc"

.

then click recdisc.exe to run.

or if you are at the desktop use the run command "recdisc.exe" (no quotes).
