🚨 Note: Although I mentioned in the video "USB hard drive," not USB flash drive. It's important you use a "USB hard drive" (the big storage drive) since USB flash drives (those little thumb drives) are not compatible. Among the reasons, they are slow and not reliable for this task.

@christiannielsen3863 Месяц назад

The "backup and restore" feature in control panel specificly asks for a USB Flash drive. Why not use that feature?

Hi Mauro, Thank you for creating such a wonderful video. I love how clearly you explained everything. May I have some advice from you? I recently got a new computer and have already created many files and installed many software. I've used 270 GB of my 1TB Win-SSD. It's time to back up. I plan to perform System Image backups once in a while and File History backups more frequently. However, I'm unsure whether I should use the same external hard drive for both types of backups-my instinct tells me not to. What would you recommend? I only have one 2T external hard drive at hand at the moment, and I want to do the backup now. If I should perform System Image and File History backups on separate external hard drives, which type of backup should I do first? Thank you in advance!

Clear and to the point. On my new laptop, performing the first backup, I received a message - drive C encrypted, backup location will not be encrypted, What does this mean? It would seem that now that CD/DVD disk drives have disappeared from most laptops, the first option for a bootable disc should be a USB stick.

@janicestevenson7109 2 года назад

I am in the middle of going back to windows 10. I HATED windows 11! I am lucky I had another computer to watch your video while I was listening to you, One thing though-I didn't get the same prompts or pages you did, so I hope this works. I will let you know, Of course, I was beyond 10 days, Thanks, I hope this works.

This is by far the best video I’ve seen. However up until the last step windows asks me for a DVD recovery disk or to create one, since I don’t have a DVD/RW DRIVE the system cancels my process. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Im so damm confused man. My gaming laptop is acting all weird and slow amd startup and its getting worse and black screening. Im so cnfused, what should I do? Make a recovery drive or a backup drive? Also what the hell is safe mode? Im so confused Ive wat hed videos all week and all this stuff is too mich for me to grasp. Im too stupid to fix my computer.

@JasonSpitzMI50 2 года назад

@@CantTreadOnMe Don't say you're stupid, just think of it as being misinformed. I would reset the computer back to factory settings. There will be a box on your home screen showing most if not all the programs that was removed during the reset. Or you can run your Windows Troubleshooter and location or fix incompatible program issues. I'm leaning toward a incompatibility issue.

@CantTreadOnMe 2 года назад

@@JasonSpitzMI50 Thanks man ill look into that. Im probably just gonna do a complete reset which seems like the easiest option. All this other troubleshooting stuff is too confusing for me. Will it wipe my nvidia and intel drivers so I can do clean installations of them?

@JasonSpitzMI50 2 года назад

@@CantTreadOnMe It depends on how you got them set up. But if you do a reset you can always add what was removed back to your system one by one. I would recommend if you do a system reset is to see which one that's acting incompatible with your operating system. Are you running Windows 11?

hi, does this backup shown in the video above save ALL users on the PC? I have 3 users on one PC, I am having some main hard drive issues so I want to do a full backup and then get a new C drive and then restore windows from my USB backup to the NEW Cdrive. If I follow your instructions above, is this possible? If I do what you do above, and then install a NEW C Drive, and then Restore Windows from MY USB backup TO the new CDrive, will all 3 users be loaded backup as if I never changed anything on my PC? Thanks

@creammyface 2 года назад

When I try to download the system image to the external hard drive, I get a message that it cannot download to a removable hard drive, and that I must download onto a network drive. What is wrong? I'm using a Seagate 2 TB removable hard drive.

@emmanuelschmulewitz1215 2 года назад

Hi, good option, nice explanation. It works from Windows side only on a "fresh" hard disk or medium, is that true? - So one can not select folders or subfolders of the drive I guess... Didn't check out yet - did anyone?
