Command line to create a new recovery partition

Question

Sunday, June 2, 2019 4:14 AM

1) If you clean install windows 10 and then delete the recovery partition what are multiple methods to recreate it?

2) Please list step by step and with illustrations if possible.

3) In addition to command line would you need to use disk management?

4) In addition to command line would you need to use third party software such as minitool partition wizard or easybcd?

5) Is using administrative powershell easier than administrative command prompt in creating the recovery partition?

6) If the computer has windows 1709, 1803, or 1809 would it make any difference whether the iso does or does not match the windows 10 build?

7) If reagentc /info were ran after creating the new recovery partition would it be identical (except for the partition number) or different from:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>reagentc /info
Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) and system reset configuration
Information:

    Windows RE status:         Enabled
    Windows RE location:       \?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition5\Recovery\WindowsRE
    Boot Configuration Data (BCD) identifier: be5d0d41-c6eb-11e8-adca-e98a121fef8b
    Recovery image location:
    Recovery image index:      0
    Custom image location:
    Custom image index:        0

REAGENTC.EXE: Operation Successful.
