Any chance your C6 is booting it in legacy mode? (Full disclosure: I haven't tested on a C7) Not sure that's an advantage.ДЄs an aside: I haven't run into bootability issues with Acronis rescue media - as long as it was UEFI-bootable. That's how/why a recovery drive ends up including updated components. The modern machines use MS's 'PBR - push button recovery' that incorporates the recovery components in C: along with the OS. The recovery partition may exist, but it contains bootable tools, not a recovery image.

Same possibility if you delay making that recovery drive long enough that Windows Update runs in the background.ДЇYI: there isn't a 'recovery partition' in the sense that your're probably thinking of - and the way it was in the old days. In that case the recovery drive you make will include the updated Win stuff - and possibly some updated Lenovo components if they're included in that OOBE update. There is one exception: if you allow the laptop to connect to the internet during OOBE it _may_ update Windows components. It isn't a generic Win install, it's everything as shipped. The procedure linked will give you a flash drive capable of restoring the laptop to its state when you took it out of the box. Does the method described here do that using something in the recovery partition and will that image it makes be just like it was or will that be a more generic windows install? What are the other options that would give me a true factory image? I'm not going to go through the windows setup and use it until I know what will and won't work.

I don't want to just install Win 10 and get the correct drivers, I want a restorable image of it the way it came with the background, etc all there. So my real question here is about other options to have a 'factory image' should I ever need to start all over. I have the latest updated Acronis 2019 installed on another computer and made the boot madia on a USB stick and it boots and works in my X1C6 but it hangs on my X1C7. I've done this with all my provious computers including X1C6.

I just got my X1C7 and before letting it boot into windows the first time I want to make a factory image of it to keep.
