    Hi there.

    Apologies if this has already been asked. I haven't been able to find the answer in forum search.

    Does anyone know how to create USB recovery media for the GL502VS?

    Asus's FAQ keeps talking about using "Backtracker" but went on to say its only meant for Windows 8.

    What recovery utility do they include now if I need to do a full restore to a new drive in case of drive failure or for upgrade?

    Thanks.

    Kay

    Which OS? If it is Windows 10, then I'd strongly suggest imaging the drive in its current with Macrium Reflect to an external drive. It's free, and I've used it and have been making regular images of my Asus G752VT.
