CREATING WINDOWS RECOVERY IMAGE

Windows 7 and upwards has a built-in feature that allows you to create disk images in just a couple of clicks. By creating a disk image, you can be sure that your data is safe. With a disk image you can restore literally everything, including your operating system and all your programs, in a quick and easy way.

Here is how it's done:

1. Click on Start, go to Getting Started and click on Backup your files
2. Now click on the Create a system image link
3. Select where you want to save the image. It is recommended to use an external hard drive to store your backup
4. Select which drives you want to back up
5. Confirm.

Now you just have to wait till Windows Backup does the job.
