Thanks Jonesy847. I also ran into the "Windows RE Image Not Found" error and it also was a Win10 " Pro " so your hunch might be correct. I hadn't noticed but my recovery partition was also not in use after fixing the error and the recovery files were now on my main C: partition. Moving the recovery from one place to another is possible if you follow this answer . I had to manually create N:\Recovery\WindowsRE in an admin command prompt and apply the image to that directory as Dism said I can't apply to the root directory. Make sure your captured C:\recovery-partition.wim is 400-500MB. Dism will claim success and create a 4-5KB file if you capture from the wrong directory. Dism /Capture-Image /ImageFile:C:\recovery-partition.wim /CaptureDir:c:\Recovery\WindowsRE /Name:"Recovery" Dism /Apply-Image /ImageFile:C:\recovery-partition.wim /Index:1 /ApplyDir:N:\Recovery\WindowsRE I'm sure MS puts the recovery files on a separate hidden partition for robustness reasons so I feel better having moved it back to its proper partition. I deleted C:\recovery-partition.wim when done but keep it if you want.
