I've completely wiped the SSD drive to make a clean install of Windows 10. How can I format again to restore the recovery partition? I want to test Windows 8.1 exactly as it came from factory.

If you didn't back up the recovery partition using the Asus Backtracker software before wiping the drive, then you'll need to return the notebook to an ASUS service center to reinstall the original ASUS factory Win8.1 image.

No, I didn't backup the recovery partition. Probably someone already backed up the recovery partition and can be downloaded over the internet (I guess it will be the same for the each model).

Anyway, I tried to run Asus Backtracker from Windows 10, but says "Asus Backtracker does not support your system."

if it came with windows 10, then there is no recovery partition anymore.

yeah mine came with win 10, and i dont see an actual Asus partition

and backtracker doesnt work with windows 10?

what exactly do we use to make a factory restore?
i bought an open box at best buy so dont know if a restore disk was missing. but usually theres a partition on the disk

whats the best way for me to get media to do a complete factory restore?

ah okay
guess that could work
only problem though is if you used a fresh windows 10 iso, how do you get it activated?
