Hi,
I would like to know which software is the best recommended here for a FULL backup of the C-drive.(OS+Apps+Settings+Documents+anything on the C-drive)
Does Windows 8.1 recovery option do that or is it better to use an other software program?
I have all setup so any downloads and other stuff is always on a separate partition. Therefore once I am finished setting up my new computer, C-drive will basically never change again (beside updates and such of course).
I estimate that my C-drive will be between 40-50 GB once finished.
I have read that an USB flash drive (64GB 3.0) is not accepted by Windows. Is that true?
If so, that means it will have to be a removable USB drive, which come no smaller then 500GB, but since it is an recovery disk/image, no other files may be saved on it.
Which ever option is best, I need to buy an USB for this recovery setup, so advice is welcome.
Well is guess this should cover it, but any suggestions regarding a perfect and full recovery method are appreciated.
Thanks, Ron
