Under no situation should you create a recovery drive or a system repair drive. These are old technologies that have fallen out of favor, because they require too much effort with no guarantee of success.
On the other hand, you should be making a backup image of your hard drive every day, if not more frequently. I'll explain why in a minute, but for now I must tell you that Windows does not have a supported backup image utility, since Microsoft abandoned System Image Builder more than two years ago. Instead, you'll need to get a third-party system image program. The one I use is called Macrium Reflect, but there are lots of great system image programs.
A system image, aka a backup image, is an exact copy of your entire hard drive, that is compressed into a single file. With a third-party backup image program like Macrium Reflect and its cousins, it takes only minutes to create a backup image, and only minutes to restore a backup image, and when you restore a backup image your computer goes back in time to exactly the way it was when the original image was made.
Why would anyone want to try fixing their computer - if that even works - or re-install Windows, re-install their software, restore their personal files from backup copies, then set everything up all over again ... when in a matter of minutes you could be back at work on your computer like nothing ever happened?
You can see why recovery drives or similarly-styled restore drives have become old technology. Consider this: In large corporate networks, when a computer goes down, do you think the IT Department sends someone out with a recovery drive and a pile of software installation discs? No, my friend, they don't have time to waste. Instead, they restore an image backup - and so can you!
