There's a really hot bird in it though, Katrina Bowden.

How can you mistake 30 Rock for CYE?!

Totally agree Derek … what is it other than arrogance that makes MS think it knows better than me how I want my folders arranged. The last time I sought help from MS their so called 'professionals' could only advise me to do what Windows wanted me to do, they didn't seem to be able to comprehend that I might want to do my own thing and their attitude towards OneDrive beggars belief. They seem to want me to save everything on OneDrive so that they are in control and command of all my docs and data!Derek27 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 23, 2020 5:30 pmBit late now but keep a disk image (a carbon copy) of your system volume on another partition, hard drive or USB memory stick. Then you can quickly restore your system in half-an-hour or so.
Another tip, never keep your data on the system volume, have it in a separate partition. Those arseholes at Microsoft seem to think they need to provide us with folders for pictures, videos, documents, etc. as if we're incapable of organising ourselves but it's actually a bad idea. What idiot comes back from the supermarket and chucks all his tinned, fresh and frozen food in a cupboard labeled shopping?
Any recommendations? I'd backed mine up ages ago, probably with system restore or EaseUS, and when it came to reinstalling it it was no longer compatible with the current windows 8 or version of EaseUS I had on the PCDerek27 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 23, 2020 5:30 pmBit late now but keep a disk image (a carbon copy) of your system volume on another partition, hard drive or USB memory stick.

You get backup utilities that backup a system volume while Windows is running using a VSS that logs changes to the volume while backing up but I prefer to create a Windows PE image and do it offline. In case you're not familiar with them, Windows Pre-installation Environment is a mini version of Windows that's small enough to load into memory on a virtual hard drive so you can boot off a USB and run it on a computer without a hard drive.spreadbetting wrote: ↑Wed Aug 26, 2020 3:09 pmAny recommendations?

Just looking for a simple clone of the drive not scheduled backups surprised there aren't a load of them around as it can't be that hard to copy byte by byte the HD image and then rewrite it.
For a moment I thought you were referring to Derek's cat and it's bum!!
