Can't creat a recovery disk on windows 10: Some required files are missin
Recently I bought a asus vivobook notebook which has genuine win 10 home pre-installed. But I have installed ubuntu 16.04 alongside it. For doing so I had to shrink the partition in which windows is installed. I have done it with windows' built in disk manager. Now I want to make a recovery disk so that I can recover my genuine windows in future.
So I go to
Control PanelAll Control Panel ItemsRecovery
And clicked Creat a recovery drive
Then Next on the new window. But after that it says
We can't create a recovery drive on this PC
Some required files are missing.
But as shown in Fig1 windows has a recovery partition in disk1(last partition). Is it the shrinking that caused this damage? If so what are the alternatives to recover my genuine windows now? Or how can I help myself with that recovery partition on my hard-drive and what is it for? Or is it anything else that causing this problem?
Fig1.Windows partition=OS(C:),second partition on disk1

The recovery partition is just for that, to restore the factory installed OS.....youtube.com/watch?v=pc3OamFf9-I

Start by running
sfc /scannow
to check the integrity of Windows.
It will tell you if any Windows files are missing.
If the SFC scan finished correctly, try this method coming from the post
Can't create a Windows 10 recovery drive. Some required files are missing
by a user called Criostoir O'Dochartaigh:
Open command prompt in elevated mode and type:
reagentc /disable
then type:
reagentc /setreimage /path \?GLOBALROOTdeviceharddisk0partition1RecoveryWindowsRE
Then type:
reagentc /enable
You may need to change "harddisk0" to "harddiskX" where X is the
number of your "C" drive and "partition1" to partitionX where X is the
partition number to conform with your system setup. To check go to
Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Computer
Management/Storage/Diskmanagment. The disk partitions are numbered
from the left of the screen starting with number 1.
