Backing up system before installing OS on laptop
Hey all.
I have a laptop that is currently running Windows 7 Ultimate x86 (32bit). The laptop has no optical drives and so I can only guess it has a copy of the OEM Windows on a partition on the 60GB SSD it uses. I want to format the laptop and try a Linux distro but I first want to make sure I have everything cloned/imaged so that if the Linux install is unsuccessful or I choose to revert back to the OEM Windows then I'll be able to do so. What can I do to ensure this? As I mentioned, it has no CD/DVD drive so I can't just pop my Windows disc in and install the same way I did with my desktop. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Let me know if there is any additional info required.
Thank you.
