How to make a Windows recovery partition - from a current partition

How do you make a Windows recovery partition?
We need some free space on one of the hard drives and The EasyBCD application, Which can be downloaded for free.

Important:
Before I start telling you how to make a Windows recovery partition, you should understand that in this tutorial we will make a reallocation of space, which involves changing the partitions. If you do not feel comfortable doing this, I recommend that you do not apply the tutorial method.

How do I make the Windows recovery partition?

1. We will shrink one partition and get unallocated free space
2. After that we will form the unallocated space, which will become a partition, for which we will also choose a new letter.
3. On this newly created partition, we'll put the files from an ISO image with Windows
- If you do not have an ISO image with Windows, please watch the tutorial:
Download Links ISO Windows 7, 8 and 10, any version
- Extracting (copying) files from the ISO image, on the new partition, you can do it directly or with 7zip.
4. After that we launched EasyBCD, an application for which my colleague Adrian made two other tutorials: How do I repair dual boot if I installed Windows XP after Windows 7 and How do I renamed Boot Manager operating systems for Windows multi boot
5. With EasyBCD we will make the new Windows bootable partition by inserting it into the bootmanager of Windows so we can have the Windows recovery partition.

How do I boot from the Windows recovery partition?

At startup you will have two options, either start normal Windows or start the recovery partition, which in the tutorial I called "recovery".

What can we do with the Windows recovery partition on it?

1. We can repair the Windows if it does not boot me
2. We can do a system recovery by restoring a backup image or through System Restore.
3. We can install Windows without DVD or stick directly from this partition, just as Adrian showed in this tutorial

  2. Okay! But to create a hidden system partition as it is on the laptop it is possible? I mean to make a picture of the system on a hidden partition in windows, then when the windy does not start to recover from the boot on that partition (as it does Acronis).

    • It's a better idea than mine, I left youtube if it can be done without protecting me that part when I open the pc but your idea sounds better. How it looks like 2 a year, I'm not sure, major update to windows is ok to extract and do like that in the tutorial. Until another one sticks to the stick
