download a portion select create installation media for another PC even though we’re going to use it on this PC here it’ll also detect the language the Edition and architecture of your current Windows 10 PC if you’re not sure those are the current settings right click start control panel system and here notice that in my case I’m using Windows 10 Pro 64-bit architecture so I got it right in case the wizard gets it wrong you can remove the checkmark use the recommended options for this PC and click on the drop down to select the proper one in this case since I got it right I’ll leave it checked and continue here checkmark ISO file and I’ll be saving this to my desktop I’ll rename this to Windows 10 so I can identify it once done click on save to start downloading the Windows 10 ISO this process can take a while depending on your system and internet speed once done click on finish and confirm the download of the ISO should be on the desktop perfect there it is now we also need to download the ECP CD program the link is also in the description box below once here scroll all the way down to download and install the free version of ECB CD click on register enter name an email to be able to download the program now once ECB CD is installed right click the start button and select Disk Management here locate C Drive selected right click and click on shrink volume we’re going to create a six gigabyte partition so I need to enter 6000 Meg’s which is about six gigabyte and click on shrink to create that recovery partition once the partition has been created we need to format so right-click it new simple volume next to the wizard I’m going to use the full volume I’ll leave it default and here you can assign a different Drive letter if you want I’ll select Drive letter R for recovery and change the volume label to recovery next and finish the wizard now our partition has been formatted now right-click it and click open you can close Disk Management now and double-click the Windows 10 I so what we’re going to do here is copy all the files inside that ISIL to that recovery partition so select them all copy and paste this can take a little while once done close all the

and rename this I’ll rename this to Windows 10 Recovery click away to save and now here under menu options locate count down from and is 30 seconds this will delay the boot for 30 seconds I would I usually recommend this from 3 to 8 seconds but I’m going to select 15 seconds so you would know what I’m talking about and save settings once save the entire ECB CD process was to add an entry to the boot menu to allow us to access the recovery partition so I’ll close here now I’ll restart Windows 10 pretending that is unbootable or extremely slow you’ll see this new entry I’m not going to move my mouse so you can see the count from that we selected 15 seconds you can see the 15 seconds here that’s why it slows down your boot process because you gotta wait or you have to manually by moving the mouse select Windows 10 to boot to your Windows 10 that’s why I usually select 3 to 8 seconds let’s pretend your Windows 10 became unbootable due to a virus or it’s extremely slow and you need to recover so let’s click on Windows 10 recovery here select the language time and keyboard click on next this is exactly the same as if you are installing Windows 10 brand new install now enter the key if you don’t have one immediately on hand you can click on I don’t have a product key to continue the installation select Windows 10 or home and click Next accept the license terms continue and here select Custom Install this is where it gets tricky this one here is a system recovery partition the one we just put it from this one is a Windows 10 system reserved and the Windows 10 partition we have few options here we can select the windows 10 partition and click on next to reinstall on top of the already created partition or we can select them and delete them both and install Windows 10 both methods are a clean install of Windows and so I’ll select the second option I’ll select the Windows 10 partition delete ok and the Windows 10 system reserved delete confirm perfect now my drive is on allocated and click on next to install Windows 10 this process can take a while but once down you’ll be able to recover your Windows 10 without the need of a installation disk or a USB now here I’ll just go through out the basic settings you can customize the settings if you want or just use Express settings select I own it and here you can enter a life email account from Microsoft or you can create a local account by clicking on skip this step in this case I’ll just enter a username no password and continue now once fully recovered remember that this is a clean installation of Windows 10 done.
