hey guys,
what can you recommend to do a backup of my system before I wipe it and clean install windows..
I want a simple and effective program that works..
I know even windows 8 has a usb recovery disk.. can i clone/backup my hard drive through windows and is it effective?
I need some recommendations. I would like to just use windows if possible so then i dont have to have any 3rd party involvement.. but unless its free and more effective than the windows backup..
I'm also asking because i just got a new laptop with pre-installed windows 8.1 and i haven't even turned it on yet because i was going to boot it up through a usb recovery disk and totally backup the system before I even turned it on for the first time..
