ExTruckie Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 Hello I am looking for a way to image my windows install due to having 2 windows crashes within a week. I know what the causes of both were. Is it possible and how? I have a server I can store the image on. Thanks
R4D3 Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) What do you mean, with: "image my windows" - A clone? A Backup? & how this could be help you? - With every big update, MS installs a complete new image; - and even the DVD install itself, is just copying an image to your hdd, and than config drivers and user account settings, nothing more. - Since MS, rolls out whole images with their updates, - most people had stopped to personalize them. Cloning, backups, mirrors seems not to be the best way anymore... Anyway, windows brings some tools inbuild, like backup, sysprep, dism - maybe you search for all the things you can do with dism (just dont try to remove/change the image, win10 get really easy broken, with a tiny mistake... (or doublebroken, cause every Build is full of errors and dysfunction...) r4d3 Edited September 15, 2018 by R4D3
HarryTri Posted September 15, 2018 Posted September 15, 2018 There are a lot of disk imaging and cloning programs, I personally use Macrium Reflect Free. Even Windows 8 that I use have their own backup system, I suppose Windows 10 does the same too (I don't know for sure because I don't have them).
