Recovery Disc from a new PC
I have a new Lenovo laptop with OEM Win7 Pro (64bit) -- 1TB HDD
- all I have done so far is charge the battery and booted ... nothing else ... (no updates, no installs ... yet!)
I assume the spinner has an OEM recovery partition
- when I create a Recovery Media (disc or USB ?) ... I have never done it before ... is the OEM Recovery partition also "saved" as part of the Recovery media ?My 2 year old Toshiba is in bad shape because of my ignorance.First ... Recovery and Repair discs
- since joining sevenforums.com I have followed various tutes about SandBox, Imaging, Recovery, and Repair without actually doing any of them
- with the new Lenovo I would like to do a planned/considered setup before I start using the new PC
- this article by Andy Rathbone has helped me to understand I need both Recovery Disc and Repair Disc
Am I better off with USB thumb drive or DVDs ... which will last longer ?
- I plan on Win7 lasting me for the next 20 years I wish !
Is there anything I should know or do before creating those "media" ?
Thank you :)
