I have recently loaded up Windows 8.1 onto a new SSD and then upgraded it to Window 10. 1) I now want to create a recovery disc AND USB so I have 2 means of recovery for what I have installed and setup so far on my SSD. I want this recovery disc AND USB to simply recover in the event my SSD crashes. If this happens, I want to install the new SSD, and simply boot to this recovery disc or USB to recover and BOOM be right where I am now.
2) After step 1, once I create this recovery disc and USB, I want to test it out NOW to ensure it will actually recover! I also want to do this ALL via Windows 10.I do not want to do any linux ubuntu crap or 3rd party software please! However, I am not seeing any instructions on doing both step 1 and 2.I see an awful lot about how to create the recovery, but I fail to see that same information extended to then verifying the recovery to work.I am a technical person.however, I am not seeing an easy set of instructions on this or just have not been successful in finding good information.so I now look to you, please help! I want this recovery disc AND USB to simply recover in the event my SSD crashes. If this happens, I want to install the new SSD, and simply boot to this recovery disc or USB to recover and BOOM be right where I am now.

You can't use a single DVD to completely recreate the entirety of your C drive onto a whole new SSD. Obviously, that won't fit. That Recovery will help fix an ailing OS install. From MS: Create a recovery drive At best, you can reinstall Windows from this. Not everything else that is on your drive. I read your aversion to 3rd party tools.but one of those WILL do what you desire, mostly.
Takes more than a single DVD, though. Ok, I think I see now that what I want is to 'image' my SSD that contains my OS and any configurations. That is what I want!
