For more information about performing a recovery operation from the Rescue and Recovery workspace, see “Using the Rescue and Recovery workspace” on page 117. Using the Rescue and Recovery workspace The Rescue and Recovery workspace resides in a protected, hidden area of your storage devices that operates independently from the Windows operating system.
Note: After restoring your storage devices to the factory default settings, you might have to reinstall device drivers for some devices. See “Reinstalling preinstalled programs and device drivers” on page 118. Creating and using a rescue medium With a rescue medium, such as a disc or a USB hard disk drive, you can recover the computer from failures that prevent you from gaining access to the Rescue and Recovery workspace on your hard disk drive. Notes: 1.
Reinstalling preinstalled programs To reinstall selected programs, do the following: 1. Turn on your computer. 2. Go to the C:\SWTOOLS directory. 3. Open the APPS folder.

Recovery overview for the Windows 10 operating system The Windows recovery programs enable you to reset your computer or use advanced startup options. It is recommended that you create a recovery USB drive as early as possible. Store the recovery USB drive as a backup or replacement for the Windows recovery programs.
Creating and using a recovery USB drive You can create a recovery USB drive as a backup for the Windows recovery programs. With the recovery USB drive, you can troubleshoot and fix the problems even if the preinstalled Windows recovery programs are damaged. Creating a recovery USB drive The USB drive that you use to create the recovery USB drive must be at least 16 GB of storage. The actual USB capacity that is required depends on the size of the recovery image.
