How to Create a Windows 11 Recovery USB Drive
0Creating a Windows 11 recovery USB drive is an essential step for anyone who wants to be prepared for system issues like boot errors, failed updates, or hardware failure. This video tutorial guides you through the full process of creating a recovery drive using built-in Windows 11 tools—no third-party software required.
To get started, go to your Windows 11 desktop and click on the Start Menu. In the search bar, type “Recovery Drive” or just “Recovery.” From the results, click on the "Recovery Drive" app to open it. This tool allows you to back up system files and create a bootable USB that you can use to troubleshoot or restore your PC in the future.
Once the Recovery Drive application opens, make sure the box labeled “Back up system files to the recovery drive” is checked. Then insert a USB flash drive with at least 16GB of available space. The tool will automatically detect the drive. Click "Next" to proceed.
A warning will appear letting you know that everything on the USB drive will be erased, so be sure to back up any important data before continuing. When ready, click "Create." The process can take anywhere from 10 minutes to a couple of hours depending on your system speed and USB drive performance. Once completed, you’ll have a fully functional Windows 11 recovery USB that you can use to reset or troubleshoot your PC if something goes wrong.
This recovery tool is especially valuable for users who don't have physical installation media or need a quick way to repair their system without downloading files from the internet.
