Intended to add though prob answered in an earlier reply.
Can I make use of scandisk32gb usb drive-to make a win10 recovery when my laptop arrives tomorrow.
Since searched Asus site-8gb usb drive required for win10 recovery,
All going well I’ll try recovery tomorrow,
It’s been amazing getting win10 tips via mse etc.

Asus c/s advised via tel -Bios reset/Win10 re loaded.

As my Asus win10 laptop is to be returned home today repaired.
Is it possible to create a usbwin10 recovery+add files to usbdrive to use storage capacity.
Scandisk. 32gb usb drive.
Hoping to avoid any further returns to Asus though at least it’s an in warranty repair -respect Asus c/s who were very helpful.

Win10 Recovery drives are formatted as 'FAT32'. This has a maximum size of 32GB (so you're OK there) but also restricts the size of individual files, so you won't be able to put large files on there.

Although Recovery Drives have their uses, I'd also take a full backup image of the machine in its freshly-delivered state (or nearly) with Macrium Reflect or similar. This will need an external driver you can attach and also mean creating a Macrium Recovery Drive (called Rescue Media) on another USB drive (so you can boot the computer if it all goes wrong), although you can get away with a much smaller drive than 32GB for the Rescue Media.

Thanks
I completed the recovery drive via usb yesterday-used most of 32gb usb drive.
This laptop had 28gb available from built in flash storage.
Since got ms office installed as I have subs until Cct’2018 from O2-Ipad upgrade.
This laptop takes some time to charge power-finish charging today.
Laptop was returned with 70% charge-expected after being repaired/tested.
I’m not going to purchase a new external hdd as I don’t find any storage need.
Though your media rescue tool advice is valid I’ll be happy with 2 recovery options.
1. -built in recovery partition-includes win10+Asus laptop drivers.
2. -Scnadik usb3.0 Recovery Drive.
Funny as bios key is Escape key -which wasn’t taking me into bios before involving Asus -though Esc is since working.
Amazing help via MSER’s that’s me until I sell my ps4 via e-bay -maybe this Fri (gaming thread)
