The easiest way is:
- Backup the whole image to an external drive using Macrium Reflect Free - CNET Download.com so that you'll have a copy of everything in one single image file.
- Re-install Windows
- Install Macrium again. Mount the image file from the external disk then you can selectively drag and drop whatever you want to restore.
See screen shot. It only takes a few minute to do a complete backup.

Hello Meowface, and welcome to Eight Forums.
In that case, you could also manually copy and paste the files to where you want to keep a backup copy of them at.
