After cleaning up all the partitions using DISKPART, will the new disk drive be restored to clean UEFI boot partitions structure? If this path would result to more trouble, I just cannot trust from what I saw.ġ.) Would the Microsoft "Create a Recovery Drive" () provide a clean recovery partition at the end of the hard disk, if I choose to keep it? Can it also be used for recovery (in additionĢ.) What is the difference from DBaR 1.9.0.22? I assume that Dell will automatically provide Dell specific drivers etc., whereas I need to do that manually with (1).ģ.) Can I add a few essential apps and HP universal USB printer driver (not UPnP detectable), and then create the recovery USB stick? I hope to avoid complete re-install later.Ĥ.) I learned to initiate a clean re-install using the UEFI boot and the Win10 ISO DVD. Some research, I concluded that a fresh cleanup of hard disk (using DISKPART in the Win10 ISO DVD) and fresh reinstall would be the prudent exercise. I used a free version of EaseUS Partition Master to see what's in the SEVEN partitions after DBaR. I had to abort when the last confirmation showed file date. I wanted to test restoring from the USB stick. I followed the Dell Backup and Recovery - DBaR 1.9.0.22 ()Īnd created a USB Recovery stick. I wanted to learn the upgrade process and be prepared for upgrading my other Win7 laptop. I brought a Dell8700 (Win8.1) last week while Win10 box is also available. These 2 swm files contribute to the 7.xx GB of recovery media, but both files show the same date (prior to the Win10 release),īut different sizes from that in the USB stick. I have mixed bag program files dates and different sizes of Base.swm and Base2.swm in WINRETOOLS and PBR Image partitions.
