How to create a recovery disk in Windows

-
Windows 8 or 10 allows you to create a recovery drive (USB) or system repair disc (CD or DVD) that can be used to troubleshoot and restore your computer. Each type of recovery media gives you access to Windows’ advanced startup options. However this feature is not available in Windows 7 where all you can do is create a repair disk which I'll teach in my next blog.

 A recovery drive can help you troubleshoot and fix problems with your PC, even if it won’t start. To create one, all you need is a USB drive.

    1. From the taskbar, search for Create a recovery drive and then select it. You might be asked to enter an admin password or confirm your choice.



     2. When the tool opens, make sure Back up system files to the recovery drive is selected and then select Next.

     3. Connect a USB drive to your PC, select it, and then select Next > Create. A lot of files need to be copied to the recovery drive, so this might take a while.

     4. When it’s done, you might see a Delete the recovery partition from your PC link on the final screen. If you want to free up drive space on your PC, select the link and then select Delete. If not, select Finish.

    Why should you Disable 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi on your Network and How

    -

    In less than twenty years, Wi-Fi has grown from being an amazing and quite expensive luxury to a common inclusion in every device you own. After all this, there’s still plenty of room for improvement…which is why you should consider disabling the old 2.4GHz band on your home’s Wi-Fi network and using the newer, faster, less crowded 5GHz band exclusively. The Standard is now 5 GHz Most modern routers are dual band , which means that they contain the ability to broadcast on both of these bands. It's quite possible that if you purchased your Wi-Fi router or compatible device in the last five years, it will support 5GHz networks—and in fact, if it’s an  802.11ac router , the 5GHz band is a must for that super-fast connection. Only super-cheap gadgets released in the last few years, like some of the e-ink Amazon Kindles or budget Android tablets, lack support for N or AC 5GHz connections. Not only are 5GHz and 802.11ac devices easy to come by, they’re getting af
