    Hello,

    I bought a new Laptop, namely HP EliteBook 840 G7, and I wanted to create my own recovery DVD.
    Apparently there is no procedure to make DVDs, but only USB sticks.

    Is anybody able to make disks or know some procedure for this?

    Thanks in advance

    Recovery has been a constant change through the years. Outside of using Cloud Recovery, which downloads a factory image for a restoration DVD. You can use Windows 7 Image Creation. It's built in Windows 10. You have options to create a USB, Network, Local secondary disk, or DVD / BluRay image for complete system image backup. Windows UEFI recovery or from installation media will perform the recovery.

    Thank you very much for your reply.
    I noticed such mode, but I was wondering if it is going to create a backup of the system at the state it is in that very moment, or just what I want: a recovery DVD which gives me a system as it was the first time I use the laptop.

    Generally you need FAR more space than a DVD to backup a system state.

    DVD restore is usually just to factory (or Microsoft) defaults. This Microsoft tool will do this:
