Hi,

I hope to soon get a new laptop, & have always previously created recovery discs, but I wondered how you go about creating recovery media on USB sticks on laptops with no DVD drive?  

 

Basically, it all seems pretty straight forward, but I see that many of the better quality USB sticks now have password protection, & I wondered if this could cause an issue?

 

Many thanks in advance.
