Windows 10: How to create Windows 10 recovery partition

Hi all, I have a question in regards to windows recovery.

My lenovo y50-70 laptop (currently using) came with their recover software Onekey (which has since been bought out and not supported). Because I also have Ubuntu and MacOS installed on this same machine (and so had to resize my windows partition), Onekey essentially broke.

As such, I'm looking into creating a new recovery partition. I already created a recovery USB drive using the built-in Windows "Recovery Drive" Utility. My question is, could I simply copy the files contained in this recovery USB to a dedicated partition on my HDD that nothing else uses? If not, is there a simple recovery partition software that is recommended?



Thanks!

How To: Create recovery partition.

it worked when i copied all the files of the disk to the recovery partition i created, but i had to use WinPE tab to add the entry.

Type: WIM Image (Ramdisk)
Name: Recovery
Path: Z:\Sources\boot.wim
and hit Add Entry
I tried it in VirtualBox and it worked.
At first, it would add a second "Windows 7" entry to the list, but when the installation is finished, the old one is deleted. (I formatted only C: partition)

For awhile I had been wondering how to create a recovery partition to reinstall windows without the need do find my thumb drive or disk, or hell burn another. With that in mind i figured others would also like to know.

Without the need to buy software.
