Creating Recovery Drives
I have an Inspiron 5559 laptop, that I got in June 2017, shipped with
Windows 10 Home Premium (1709 at the time?). I used the on board "Create a recovery drive" program then to make a USB recovery drive. All went fine. About a year and a half later, as I'm organizing all my USB drives, I could't tell which was for this Dell 5559...poor labeling on my part. I created another USB recovery drive in November, 2017. My question is, whenever one creates a recovery drive using the machine's (Windows) program, is the OS that created on the recovery drive, the current Windows verion that is running on the machine, or is it the original 'as shipped' by the factory version. I would think the program creates at least the currently running version, and perhaps the factory shipped version. Not sure why one would want the factory shipped version (especially in my case, four years later), unless the machine was fairly new, and hadn't required any updates/upgrades, and the user was ok with starting anew. If the currently running version is what's created every time a recovery drive is made, seems sensible to create a new one once in a while. Yes? Thanks. |
