Windows 10 I CAN NOT

<< < (2/2)

Boggin:
It's always a good idea to have an external HDD to back up to and with a system image on one would save you from having to go the full repair when things go awry.

HappyElderGeek:
BACKUPS.  ALWAYS MAKE BACKUPS.  But, most backup products are clumsy and error-prone.

I have a script, and a simple US$39 product from Germany, that allows me to make 100% backups of each computer (locally on a separate partition, with as many days' worth of backup as you'd like to have; I use 5) and a 100% copy to an ancient XP system that writes them to an external drive (which I change every 10 days or so; I keep three 1TB disks in rotation; the eldest is in the trunk of my car, so if the house burns...).  Last night's backup is in three places!

If you're interested, I could post more of it here.  I call it "The Waterfall" method.
