When I received my desktop with Win8, I went through the Set-Up steps....one of which was to create a Recovery Drive on D: (I also created a Win8 Recovery flash drive at that time)
Is this where the "factory settings" live and should be left alone? Or is it like a "backup" that I should be periodically updating? Could I get data from it? I have since upgraded to 8.1...so would the D: drive include that if I ever needed to use this drive? Should I create new/updated flash drive?
I know these may qualify as the dumbest questions of the day, but I do want to understand this.
