How to create Windows 10 recovery disk on CD or DVD
As you can see, in the previous and mostly for Windows 10 way to create a recovery disk, only a USB drive is meant under such a disk, without the ability to choose a CD or DVD for this purpose.

- In the backup and recovery toilet and recovery tool window that opens (do not give the values that Windows 7 is specified in the window header, it will be created for the current installation of Windows 10) on the left, press "Create a system recovery disk."
After that, you will need to select a drive with a clean DVD or CD drive and click "Create Disk" to record the recovery disk to the optical CD.
Its use will not differ from the flash drive created in the first method - it is enough to load from the disk to the BIOS and upload a computer or laptop from it.
