proper steps before win8 install to be able to go back to 7
hi, i have read quite a few tutorials on backup and am still not clear on the proper steps to make a backup of windows 7.
my plan:
- somehow backup windows 7 on a usb stick.(the most basic backup but with my paid copy - license)
- upgrade to windows 8
- if neccesary (if i don't like win8) ?plug in my backup usb and replace my hard drive with windows 7.
what steps do i take? do i make an image with macro, and stick it on a usb and thats it? or is there more to it? i plan on doing a factory reset to my computer before making the backup as all my important stuff are documents that i have backed up. programs and all i am happy to reinstall as i don't have much.
i have spent hours on this forum searching for clear answers but i am still confused. TIA!
