After completing the above given steps, the wizard will proceed to create a complete backup of your computer, including everything that is stored on the main drive, as well as the system partitions.  You may create a backup of files that are still in use, which means that you may continue to work normally as the backup is being created.

Once your back up is done, you will be asked to create a system repair disk to access the recovery options only if your computer is unable to boot. While it is always suggested to create the repair disc, that can access the recovery options using a bootable USB drive with the Windows 10 installation files.
