System Repair Disc Not Bootable in Win10

I am running Win 10 Pro 64bit version 1909. I used Control Panel, System and Security, Backup and Restore (Windows 7) to create a system repair disc. That worked fine, no error messages, until I went to use it. I tried to boot my pc from the CD drive where the repair disc was inserted but got an error message, non system disc or words to that effect. I had done this previously with Win7 without any problem. Any thoughts as to why the same process is not working in Win10?

    I used Control Panel, System and Security, Backup and Restore (Windows 7) pathway to create a system repair disc in Win10. Is that what you refer to as a recovery disk? I know how to determine the version of the operating system I'm using on the computer but how do you determine the version on the system repair disk? I don't know what you mean by Legacy and UEFI. This much I do know. My computer was purchased with Win7 installed on it. When support for Win7 expired in January 2020, I did a clean install on the same computer using a Win10 version 1607 ISO file that I downloaded from Microsoft. With Windows Updates applied since then, I am now at version 1909 of Win10.

    Windows 10 has it own version of the Recovery disk.  When you create it, you can choose to include system files or just the recovery tools.  If you have a system which is setup to use the OEM factory restore images, the USB drive needed will be larger than one for just using the Recovery Tools..

    Try typing recovery drive  in the search box to see if that is a different process than the Win 7 version..

    The process is different in Win10 than in Win7. When I enter "recovery drive" in the search box I end up with this image. What next?

    First you choose not to include system files, then you run the command below to check the operation of your recovery tools..

    Admin command prompt is always required..

    reagentc /info

    If the listing shows as disabled then try these two commands and then recheck the operation..

    reagentc /disable

    reagentc /enable

    Let us know what the listing shows.
