Surface Pro how to backup recovery partition

[@Diego02567]

what if I didn't make a recovery drive and now I'm stuck at the blue screen asking for the USB media

[@BowserN64]

You explained every step perfectly. Thanks!

[@JeffreyQuadra]

@Charlie Diaz nice, what other games gave ya tried. msft flight,, Portal2, etc. Thanks for lettin me know, helps my should i get one decision. I also heard the pen/screen is wacom tech, which is awesome for drawing/sketching.

Minecraft runs beautify on my Surface Pro, I also ran Counter Strike Source and it was running at an astonishing 81 FPS. This thing is just amazing.

Love your videos! Could you show us how to use Acronis Drive Image (Clone) to backup the C: Drive using the bootable USB? Thanks!

[@NatarajanGanesan]

I got a new surface pro and need to transfer my contents and user settings from my old surface pro. Any one step way to that? Thanks

I used my back up external 1TB hard drive for this video and now it seems I lost over 7 years of data. Please tell me I can restore data. The name of the external drive has changed to RECOVERY and there is nothing in my Recycle bin. You said to use a flash drive and the bigger the better to make it faster. Please what am I missing?????

[@AlternativeEnergyNC]

can you just put it on a micro SD... I keep a 64 gig mico sd in my surface pro 3....I can just pop it in a usb adaptor correct?

Will this recovery image work on multiple Surface or just 1 Surface ?

[@theraoner9728]

Can you move back the recovery partition from the flash drive to pc?

[@MickRatanapanyo]

The reason why I asked is because it failed on my Samsung XE500 ATIV PC. I love using Acronis, it's quick and sure. Thanks again. :)

Awesome, but could u make a copy recovery image and share download link. Because I accidentally deleted the partition drive .No, I am unable to reset to default factory settings. Thank you very much.

[@philip6382]

Can you upload an .iso file, because the files from microsoft didnt work?

[@JeffreyQuadra]

very nice, it may be silly but id like to see how games like starcraft, portal 2, & even minecraft run on thr surface pro.That would give me a good compairison of actual performance to what I use currently. Keep making vids.

[@colossus715]

How about an image creation program such as Image For Windows? Wouldn't that be better?

[@ShelbyRyder]

The pen is awesome, it is the most accurate digital pen I've come across. In terms of games, I have starcraft 2 and Xcom: enemy unknown, both run great.

[@WillPaulR]

How do you restore (recover) from a flash drive to a corrupted Windows 8 installation? Did you make a video for that?

[@EpicReviewsTech]

This video covers that- @tShKxTNgoO8

[@carstenklemme2193]

Explained very well, thanks for the tip!

[@JeffreyQuadra]

Nice, I realy wanted to find out how the pen performs, but almost all sites like engadged, gizmodo etc don't do sketching. I still have my old HP TX2517CA conversion Wacom tablet, it's 6-7 yrs old, few yrs later took 10min to turn on & overheated & crashed in 2, I had placed win8 beta & just recently win8pro. Now it's 30sec on, with not touch friendly hot toprightcorner, GPU drivers no work, and powercord is breaking. Too bad I couldn't traid it in, though I'd prob only get $100 hahha

Can Surface RT do this

[@leopoldbirkholm]

Yeah, like many others, the box to "copy recovery partition" is grayed out. This is annoying. >_

[@perrykuinsadministracion2531]

FORMAT OF USB? FAT32 or NTFS?

[@JonathanVaucher]

The windows utility will take care to choose the format when it reformats your USB key. It will tell you it will erase anything you previously had on the key.

[@CRUSADERI8]

8Gb Flash drive works perfectly OK for SurfacePro AND SurfacePro2 for recovery. You will still have about 2Gb Free space left on the USB stick AFTER creating the recovery drive. So dont waste your money on 16Gb drive when an 8Gb drive is perfectly ok! DO NOT EVER USE this USB drive EVER! Just keep it in a drawer for that day when you need it!
