Tip

Create recovery "flash drive" Win 8.1

Jan 29, 2015 2:25AM PST

Use MS link for details:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/create-usb-recovery-drive

*NOTE* This is for Win 81. and RT versions, NOT Win 8.0. I strongly suggest you have at least a 8gb flash drive with no contents. Larger flash drives will work, but typical 8gb is all that is needed. I also recommend you use a good brand of flash drive brought from a trusted vendor.
