Deploying Windows 10 with a Recovery partition.

Hey, /p>

I work for a company that sells PCs with a wide range of spec, direct to customers, most of them include Windows 10.

With the increase in the number of cases these days that don't include a DVD drive we want to include a recovery partition, with a fairly basic Windows 10 image on that customers can use to restore their PC if they have any screw-ups with Windows 10.

Now, we currently use WDS and PXE to deploy basically a clean Windows image to the PC using an unattend script, that loads the PC into Sysprep, runs some testing software to stress test the hardware and catch any faulty items etc.

I have edited the unattend script to create the recovery partition, but there does not appear to be a lot, if any documentation out there on how to then configure WDS the files needed for recovery get moved to the correct places.

I've tried going the manual route, and created .cmd scrips that get run to copy the WinRE.wim, boot.sdi and the Install.wim to the recovery partition, and then to run the reagentc commands to register the WinRE.wim but it doesn't seem to actually work. 

Also, i know in previous Windows you could specify the /bootkey option in the regagentc command and set a key that would launch WinRE at startup, but again this does not seem to work for Windows 10.

If anyone has any experience with this, or hell can point me to some documentation for Windows 10 and doing this I would appreciate it.
