Thanks for that helpful answer Neemobeer . I think you're confusing 2 different things . A user's personal backup , which is of course his responsibility , and the server/cloud/whatever backup , which is the provider's responsibility , and I find it very hard to believe they don't have these...

A friend of mine sent me the following : I would imagine that MS has at least a months worth of backups , if not more . Can someone enlighten me on this ? Thanks .

Thanks davehc for that quick reply - I'll check it out .

Can anyone tell me , if WordPerfect Version X9 will work on a 4K display , under Win 10 ? Thanks .

Thanks Mike - I'll check this out .

OK - thanks nmsuk .

Thanks nmsuk . I went here - Download Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) from Official Microsoft Download Center . Not much info there . Can you recommend a link explaining it ?

Thanks kemical and nmsuk . Kemical , is the Rufus solution , not only to make a bootable USB installation disk ? I am interested in actual Win 7 on a bootable USB Flash Drive .

I see a lot of info on creating a bootable USB installation disk . What I am interested in , is a bootable USB of actual Win 7 . In case of hard disk boot troubles , I could use this to get in at least . Seem to recall , years ago seeing such a thing . Anyone ? Thanks .

An update on this . I actually don't defrag , for the reasons , I've explained . Still , I decided to try the Win7 defrag . Below is the map that Defraggler gives me after . It has distributed some toward the end , but most appears to be in the first 1/2 .

Thanks Digerati . "Getting rusty" - my intention was not so much the disk surface , as the accessing that position ( e.g. at 50% radius , 70% radius etc. ) . If defragging does not do , what you term consolidating , then that would prevent this problem . Is the consolidating mentioned here in...

Thanks Digerati for your informative reply - much appreciated . The files are of the first type , so I can safely down up to 100GB free , if I understood you . Re defragging etc. , on the one hand , it could influence performance as you point out . But , a good side of fragmentation could be ...

Ok - thanks Neemobeer

I have an external Seagate 8TB USB disk . As usual , when I have less than 10% free disk space , Win 7 gives me a warning . If this is only a data disk , is it still important to have at least 10% free space ?

OK , that makes sense . Thanks Digerati .
