A new 2015 Toshiba laptop with Win 8.1 acquired to day, four hours ago
- my faithful 2012 Toshiba is near on its knees after a bad experience with Kaspersky that has screwed 2 Win7 PCs
For about 2 years I have been subscribed to Imaging threads at sevenforums.com ... but never the time to try it.
- and a coward worried about stuffing it up.
Q1: Can a Win8.1 PC be imaged along the lines of Win 7 ... or is it a different process in Win8.1 ?
Q2: Am I right in assuming that Win8.1 can be downgraded to Win7 ?
Q3: Toshiba came with 2 year warranty ... this might influence on downgrading to Win7 and/or imaging Win8.1 ?
While the new Tosh is still in the box I assumed this would be the best time to create an image etc
- like step off on the right foot for easier maintenance in the longer term
- and I thought my grandkids were going to inherit my Win7 machines
I would appreciate any advice ... thank you
