Hello,
I hope this is in the right forum.
In brief: Should an system image be created before or after getting a new computer all set-up with programs and files transfered.
Details: I just installed Windows 8.1 on my new desktop. My old computer was a laptop (desktop replacement type). I've spent days trying to do this install the right way from the beginning (saving and backing up old computer, updating windows several times on the new, deleting bloatware, reinstalling software on new, etc.) Then I used easy transfer to transfer all my files, etc. from my old laptop.
Then I remembered that I didn't create a system image backup. Does it matter much, other than file size?
Thanks, in advance.
