Go easy on me here guys. I thought I'd get with the times and update to Windows 10 from a relatively stable Windows 7. It seemed great until things spiraled into chaos and finally ended with a blank screen and a flashing dash. Meaning, I had no way of accessing any recovery utilities (that I know of). This after configuring the setup and installing all of my applications. I had to restart from scratch with Windows 7 Home Premium.
So my question is, what does one do to backup & restore a PC when you can't access any restoration tools, drives, or disks. Furthermore, how do you backup everything to an image so that you have very little downtime. I'd like to make a backup every day and have a way to revert it in case of a disaster.
Is there a way to handle this without physically making recovery discs every day?
Just a few things about my setup:
I've installed Windows to an SSD drive. I have another 2TB Seagate HDD. I have two external hard drives I can use to backup an image, but how are these images accessed in the case of a major crash? That's what confuses me. Plus, should these image backups be burned to a bootable DVD? Would it be a matter of taking the image to another computer and burning it to disc and then inserting the disc into the trashed computer?
What's the best thing to do here? Cause I can't afford the time lost! Appreciate any help or guidance.
