Method 2: Manually Create Recovery Media Notes: • Recovery media based on WinPE 3.0 or above enables dynamic loading of the necessary device drivers. We recommend you to use WinPE for Windows 10, which supports better hardware compatibility and requires less effort when copying and installing drivers. For more information on the compatibility of each WinPE version, please refer to Microsoft's article What's New in Windows PE for more information. • Recovery media can be built either for x86 or x64 architecture. An x86-supported recovery media is required for an x86 architecture device. • The 32-bit version of Windows PE can boot 32-bit Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), BIOS PCs, and 64-bit BIOS PCs. The 64-bit version of Windows PE can boot 64-bit Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), BIOS PCs, and 64-bit BIOS PCs. For more information on the partition style when setting up Windows, please refer to the article by Microsoft, Windows Setup: Installing using the MBR or GPT partition style. • Internet connection must be available when downloading and installing Windows ADK. If you cannot use the online ADK installer with GUI, please refer to the Microsoft' article, Install the Windows ADK offline, for more information. Administrative Permissions The entire process of creating recovery media requires users with local administrative permissions to use the command-line interface (CLI). Right-click on the CLI icon and choose Run as administrator to begin. Create Recovery Media with the Windows ADK Download and Install the Windows ADK When creating recovery media, we recommend downloading and installing Windows ADK version 1803 Deployment Tools and Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) are also required for building recovery media (see the image below). Installing Windows ADK may take a few minutes. 09
