 FULL BACKUP
If you're using Windows 10, there are different methods you can 
use to create a backup. 
However, if you don't want to use manual methods and don't 
want to install third-party tools, you can always create a full 
backup using the legacy built-in System Image Backup tool.

 CREATE A SYSTEM IMAGE 
• Click Create a system image in the left panel
• You have options for where you want to save the backup 
image: external hard drive or DVDs. I suggest the former, 
even if your computer has a DVD-RW drive, so connect your 
external drive to your PC, select On a hard disk and click Next.

 SYSTEM REPAIR

• After the system image is created, you'll be asked if you want 
to create a system repair disc. 
• This puts your image on a CD or DVD, which you can use to 
access the system image you created if your PC won't boot.

 SHADOW COPY FEATURE 
• When starting a full backup on Windows 10, you 
can continue to work during the process because 
the tool uses the Shadow Copy feature that 
enables the ability to backup files even if they're 
open and apps are running.

 EXTERNAL DRIVE
• After the process has completed, you can 
disconnect the external drive to store it in a safe 
place. 
• If you have valuable information, you may want 
to consider keeping the drive in a different 
location.
