I did not use the install on multiple computer option. So I don’t have it.
Ran the system file checker, did not find any integrity violations.
The first time, I downloaded windows 10 from the Microsoft web site. I noticed it added a 450 MB recovery partition. I made a new disk image of windows 10, it completed successfully. I then made a recovery drive with out system files. It also was successful. But it will not boot. Then I made one with system files, it was also successful. But will not boot.
I then restored back to 8.1 from a disk image and started over, but this time I went though windows update. The install went well, but this time there was no 450 MB recovery partition. Again I made a disk image of 10, no problems. I made a recovery drive with and with out system files, no problems. But it will not boot. I get BSOD WDF VIOLATION. It does not give a code.The recovery drives I make in 8.1 boot up and work fine. I am thinking the problem is with the windows 10 recovery environment.
