What is the best way to backup these things?
Hi,
So I will be reinstalling Windows this week because of a driver issue not getting resolved no matter what I try. Will be installing all the softwares, plugins, their licenses, all drivers, do all the smaller personalizations etc.
After I finish all the details, I want to backup in the way that when I use it to restore -
1. All the installed softwares & plugins (32&64 bit) get restored along with their licenses so I don't have to register them again. (Some needed a serial, some needed a key file or a license manager, while some had to be copied in the installation folders, or even into the Program Data folder to work.)
2. All the drivers, Task Scheduler & Public and User Documents get restored.
What will help me here? A backup or a system image? Moreover will a backup/system image of the entire C drive make sure that all of the above is backup up well?
Sorry for being a bit of a noob, but these bigger computer operations have always scared me a bit. Would love to have some guidance & advice here.
Thank you!
P.S - Lesson learnt - Never install a driver without creating a restore point.
