Build a system image of Windows to be used in case anything happens to the operating system. Use the system image to recover from disk disaster.
- [Instructor] Computer backup is about more than…making a safety copy of your personal files.…Specifically the operating system…is another item you want to back up,…just in case it too becomes damaged or goes missing.…Because Windows' file history feature…doesn't backup the operating system,…you must put in a little more effort…to create a system image.…Now some PCs keep a recovery copy of Windows…on a special partition located…on the primary storage device.…On this PC, I'll open the disk management console…to check for such a partition.…
Tap the Windows key, and type computer management.…Choose the computer management app when it shows up.…And under storage, choose disk management.…Here you see disk zero, which is the PC's…primary storage device.…It shows two partitions.…The EFI partition serves as the boot configuration program.…Drive C is Windows, its primary storage media…holding Windows, the operating system, your programs,…your files and folders.…
On many systems you may also see…a third partition called recovery.…
