Hi all, First post in this forum. Long story short.... My easy upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10 was not so easy. Had to do a clean install of Win 10 after system upgrade kept hanging at logon screen. Have now recovered everything except for Internet Explorer bookmarks. I do have old system image...

You can use Windows To Go, a feature in Windows 10 Enterprise (and previous versions), to provision a USB drive with a complete and managed Windows 10 system image. You can insert the USB drive (known as a Windows To Go workspace) into a managed or unmanaged Windows 10 host computer to boot and...

I'll try to make this short, sweet, and to the point. I would like to make a custom image of my Windows 7 install. Heres the catch, I would like to have all the programs, utils, and applications already in place after the image has been installed. It has gotten rather old having to reinstall...

Hello, newbie here. I recently had a scare with a vendor who changed settings and did not put back. When problems were noticed they tried to blame on my computer. Restore points or system image seem perfect to protect me from this in the future. I want to be able to back these points or...
