The recommendation for the drive is at least 8GB, the info on screen doesn't go anywhere near 8GB. From what is shown, is that enough to, say, get out of trouble if the system fails? or reinstall the whole of W10? Have I missed something? had a snapshot of screen but seem to have the wrong extension. The info is boot efi sources SVI bootmgr bootmgr.efi reagent.xml hope that's not confusing	jayal (1291)

They are 3 different things. A Win recovery CD(USB) wont let you re-install . Its used to fix startup issues etc. A Manufacturers recovery CD is different again, and will wipe & reload the system. That looks like a Win Recovery USB/CD .	1101 (13337)
