Solved Questions about iso's

[Clintlgm]

I just have 1 computer.

I keep 2 Macrium images at a time on USB drives.
I've never had use for an ISO.
Hence my asking about them.

I bought factory recovery disks from Gateway.
Before using Macrium I used the disks twice.
A Macrium image is so much easier.
Installing maybe a hundred updates is tedious.
Plus all the programs & other personal data.

I have all the crapware removed from the OEM install.
If my computer gets fried, hopefully I could use the Macrium image to set things up on a new computer.
I think that can be done.
Anybody know for sure ?

I think the Deploy to different hardware feature should handle that?

Probably.
Hopefully such a scenario is a long way down the road.

I have 2 Macrium backup images made.

Before making the images I defragged, virus scanned, ran CCleaner, etc. .

It's been a long time since I did a system clean up, so I'll try doing that too after backing up Defrag not an option for me though.

No defrag ?

Two different things:

Upgrade Windows with only a product key - Windows Help

Create installation media for Windows 8.1 - Windows Help

Take a look at this post: How to clean install Windows 8.1 if you have an OEM computer with UEFI firmware (BIOS) embedded Windows 8/8.1 product key?

Its SSD now
Daily automatic optimization task has already been created in task scheduler, so that'll take care of SSD maintenance.
Hope there is nothing else to do.

I don't use Gmail chat.

No option for "Personal Messaging" and I cant even see PM if i click on your name,maybe because I am a new member.

After that there is setting for "Thread Display Options".

Have seen this first time,anyways what about skype or any other IM?

Thanks for the video but I am afraid no such option is showing under my settings its Visitor messaging for me,needless to say could you try PM me as I have enabled Visitor messaging?

Also I appreciate your thoughts for other readers but please understand I am trying to save time as I mentioned in previous comment.

Thanks
