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?

    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.

    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?

    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..

    Thank you for your time and effort to resolve my problem. If there is anyone else out there who is in a similar predicament, I'd like to hear from you. I am running Win10 version 1909 and about to upgrade to 2004. I'll give it another shot after the operating system has been upgraded and see what kind of result I get.

    Hello William

    Windows 10 as a Recovery Partition in case your computer stops working it will start into this partition to be able to get Windows 10 working again.

    In some bad cases the Recovery Partition stops working, it's rare but i have seen it happen.

    For this reason, and honestly not many people think about this, it is good to have a Recovery Drive.

    I highly recommend for you to buy a cheap 8GB USB drive and make a Recovery Drive with it, CD's and DVD's are becoming obsolete, I havent's used one in years.

    Regards

    Angelo
