So much more thorough than any others. Especially on the recovery disc creation. I watch a lot of these types of videos because far too many creators talk too fast and are in too much of a rush. You are clear and well paced. ( I see that even Frank at WunderTech gave you a thumbs up. ) Subscribed.

Apparently Windows PE does not support 64bit drivers as it's a 32bit environment and Intel does not provide 32bit drivers for the processor. in question Found out the hard way this weekend at a clients. The network driver .inf will not install no matter what I did. The only viable option is a USB to ethernet adapter. In this case, it was a Dell Precision 3460 machine and using the onboard NICs to recover my data did not work. Kept getting a message that the Network driver was not installed and to load drivers.

It is a good consideration for future content on bare metal videos.

Hey all is good except when I try to access the recovery portal outside my network, chrome tells me the page took too long to respond, any ideas?

Would you be able to use this procedure to upgrade the C Drive on a PC to a larger sized one, so the C Drive would be the only change in hardware?
