[MBZ] OT: USB drive size for factory recovery media
OK, let's say I'm getting a new Win10 laptop and I need to have an empty thumb drive handy to make a factory restore disk before I start using it. What size do I buy? ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] OT: USB drive size for factory recovery media
Ballpark I would say 16GB should be more than adequate. Besides making a recovery drive, I would also make a system image backup as well, but keep it current. That way if the machine cacks you get pretty much everything back, including your personal stuff. A recovery drive only restores the system, not the user data. -D > On Dec 12, 2020, at 9:14 AM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes > wrote: > > OK, let's say I'm getting a new Win10 laptop and I need to have an empty > thumb drive handy to make a factory restore disk before I start using it. > > What size do I buy? > > ___ > http://www.okiebenz.com > > To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com > ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Install is quite small, 16GB handles it easily.I like Kingston for bootable USB, I've had trouble getting off brands to boot.
