To restore your old configuration, the system recovery option is a very interesting option. However, you should still make a new 1:1 backup of your computer. In our Hack of week 14, we explain exactly how to restore <a href=\"https:\/\/licenceking.co.uk\/microsoft\/windows\/windows-10\/\">Windows 10<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Create a Windows 10 backup with system image<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To secure the data stored on your PC, you can make a copy of Windows 10, in other words an image of your system. This way, if you ever have problems with your computer, you can restore your PC to the exact same state it was right after the last backup. The system image keeps your Windows hard disk in the configuration you have chosen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are the steps to create a system image on Windows 10:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In the <strong>Start<\/strong> menu, go to Search and <strong>open the control panel<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0Go to <strong>System and Security<\/strong> (Windows 7) and click on <strong>Backup and Restore<\/strong><\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Go to <strong>Create a system image<\/strong> and choose where to backup: to a network location, to DVD or to hard disk (we would recommend you to backup your data to an external hard disk).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Then choose the hard disks you want to secure (all the drives needed to run Windows are included automatically)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Then confirm with <strong>Next<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">After clicking on <strong>Start backup<\/strong> the system copy is created.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>How to use the Windows 7 backup tool (also called Backup)?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Using the Windows 7 backup system will even allow you to restore Windows 10. An option based on the Windows 7 backup principle. And yet, you can use it on Windows 10 to secure your data:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">open <strong>the Control Panel<\/strong> with a single click via Cortana or Windows search<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Choose Backup and Restore (Windows 7) in System and Security<\/strong><\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Start the backup by clicking on <strong>Backup now<\/strong><\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Enter the administrator data (usually your user data) and confirm by clicking on <strong>Yes<\/strong><\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Then the backup will start<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You must then decide where you want to restore the files.

Before you decide to restore your system with the Windows 10 backup procedure, it may be a good idea to ask yourself which data you are really going to want to keep to start over on your PC.<\/p>\n<p>In the <strong>My Documents<\/strong> folder, you can store documents, movies and music and then recover them very easily later by restoring Windows 10. To do this, right-click on <strong>My Documents<\/strong> and then click on <strong>Properties<\/strong>. Then in the <strong>Destination<\/strong> folder click on <strong>Transfer<\/strong> and choose a media for your backup. Windows then transfers your personal data quickly and easily into the Windows 10 backup.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Use the device driver to backup your data under Windows 10<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Even after you have secured your data on Windows 10, you will not be able to do without your drivers. For this reason, the <strong>Driver Collector<\/strong> is a very practical tool. It is useless to install it, and in addition it presents you immediately with the start all the important components of the driver. With <strong>Copy Files<\/strong> you transfer them to the <strong>C:Driver Collector<\/strong> folder, which the tool itself has installed. You will only have to repeat these same steps for all other drivers. In the end, you will have moved all your drivers to a storage medium such as an external hard disk.<\/p>\n<p>For years you have been storing data from different applications. You will probably need a lot of this data after you have backed up Windows 10. Thanks to the Personal Backup tool you can visualize which types of documents you use and how many documents of a certain category of files are sleeping on your computer. Then Personal Backup also calculates the storage space you need to plan if you want to secure this data.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Start <strong>Personal Backup<\/strong> and choose your media from the target directory. As the source, then choose the corresponding Windows partition and click <strong>Add to List<\/strong>. You then have a view of all file types. If one <strong>(0)<\/strong> appears under the <strong>Number<\/strong> heading, it means that there are no documents with this extension on your computer. You can remove them from the backup by using the arrow button. In the category of documents.doc you will find the number of Word documents present that you probably want to save and that therefore remain in the list. Once you have verified all terminations, click <strong>Start <\/strong>to back up all the data you want to protect.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-633\" src=\"https:\/\/lizenzking.de\/blog\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/04\/weekly_hack_win_10_backup_3.jpg\" alt=\"Weekly Hack: Windows 10 Backup \u2013 so geht\u2018s!\" width=\"1400\" height=\"788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/licenceking.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/04\/weekly_hack_win_10_backup_3.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/licenceking.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/04\/weekly_hack_win_10_backup_3-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/licenceking.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/04\/weekly_hack_win_10_backup_3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/licenceking.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/04\/weekly_hack_win_10_backup_3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/licenceking.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/04\/weekly_hack_win_10_backup_3-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/licenceking.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/04\/weekly_hack_win_10_backup_3-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/licenceking.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2018\/04\/weekly_hack_win_10_backup_3-746x420.jpg 746w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Buy Windows 10 backup at an attractive price from Licenceking<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>With our tips and tricks about the <a href=\"https:\/\/licenceking.co.uk\/microsoft\/windows\/windows-10\/\">Windows 10<\/a> backup tool, you will never experience backing up your files as something complicated again.
