    Roland is correct What i am trying to avoid is reinstalling all the DATA on Drive D:\ hence Apps like adobe master collection, lots of PC games, STeam, GOG, Origin hence software programs that have desktop icons, Saved folders etc linking to the C:\ OS - registry I want to be able to restore exaclty how i have installed it C OS and D data, and yes updates can screw up an install of the OS anytime anywhere does not matter seen it many many times with servers, DT and whatever else windows touches and a lot of the times restore time point does not work.

    Keep your data on its own totally separate drive or partition, not shared with apps or anything else, and your backups and restores will be greatly simplified.
