I work at Best Buy in the computer department.
95% of the people we sell computers to barely know how to turn computers on, much less understand how to create a recovery disc.
"Big Box Store Reps Push Unnecessary Recovery Discs" I hate to tell everyone but a recovery disc is necessary since Windows discs are not included in PC boxes anymore. If you don't create one and your computer crashes you get to wait a week for the manufacturer to send you one. (Which you must pay for)
If you have Best Buy create one for you it takes about 2 hours and 29 dollars. I was on hold for 2 hours just now to see how much ordering a recovery disc would cost. Also don't forget a 10 pack of dvds will run you 10 bucks should you decide to make them yourself.
29 bucks is not a lot of money for recovery discs.
The recovery disc creation is cheap. It's just about the best value service that Geek Squad offers.
If you want to complain about something, complain to the PC manufacturers for not including anything anymore... Like Restore Discs, Anti Virus software, MS Office, Windows CD, or a manual.
