    To everyone wondering why it's better to back up the stock settings from the factory is because all drivers that were installed when you bought it are optimal for the laptop. If you fresh install windows we have to download the drivers which is newer than the stock ones which may or may not mess up the current state of the system. Not to mention windows updates are known to cause issues so yeah. Its up to you really whichever you prefer.

    I did this a week ago to my 9 year old laptop. It was always blowing the fan really loud for no reason lately. Reverted it back to 2014 and after a day of catching up to 9 years of updates, now it's nice and quiet again. Was gonna buy a new laptop this year if this didn't help, luckily it did. Really recommend this.
    Also don't bother waiting to create the image until after you've customized it with all the programs that you like to use because they're going to be so out of date they won't even update anymore so you'd have to uninstall them anyway and it just makes the image bigger than it has to be.

    For those complaining about the OOB snapshot being out of date, you can use Macrium Reflect at ANY time to back up your machine this way, so you'll always have a current system image to return to. Of course, this would require a larger backup disk (usb, external drive, etc). Once backed up, you can even remove the OEM restore image if allowed, knowing you have a better version of the system image available.

    I am learning people to do this from 2004 :)
    My first software was Ghost 3.1 (The first versions of Ghost supported only the cloning of entire disks. However, version 3.1, released in 1997 supports cloning individual partitions. Ghost could clone a disk or partition to another disk or partition or to an image file. Ghost allows for writing a clone or image to a second disk in the same machine, another machine linked by a parallel or network cable, a network drive, or to a tape drive.)

    Nice to know someone else does that, too! I started doing a "pre-first-boot backup" so that I never even get to the initial setup boot before my first backup is done. Exact same process, only my first boot is from the USB stick.
    The reason I started doing that is because if I ever sell the laptop, I can either give it a "new out of the box experience" for whoever buys it, or I can pull the HD/SSD, replace it with a new one, and restore the original PRE-1st-Boot system image, while not wasting time worrying about lost files, as I keep the original drives with me.
    It works out to the same as having OEM reinstall disks...which NOBODY includes in the box any more, and most wont' even sell them to you, even if you're willing to pay extra for them!

    • @BracerJack
      @BracerJack  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      YES This this this !
      I also made a clone right after purchase for this very reason, if you ever decide to sell it, you reclone it back to the original "just purchased" state so that the next user will also have the exact "just purchased" state of the laptop.
      I miss those oem disks...

    This will depend heavily upon the laptop you buy. I bought a new gaming laptop that was basically broken at the driver level when I bought it, and it didn't start working properly until I had updated everything I could. Not all manufacturers will make sure that their firmware is in order right out of the box, so keep that in mind before backing up your system image.

    To prevent the idea that your computer is slowing down, check your power options and turn off the "Turn on fast start up" option. This option does not allow your computer to fully cycle through a starting process. It bypasses small updates and special driver refreshes that are needed. Also, The Sleep option is worse for your battery than Hibernate. So be conscious of your power options and you will have a better time.

    Thanks for that. We think alike. Before I bought this machine I had already made a bootable disc imaging drive.

Perfectionism does not hurt in IT.

  • @danielx555
    @danielx555 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I usually do a clean install whenever I buy a new laptop. I look at the system, I make a note of what the company's update assistant or support assistant is, and then I do a clean install of Windows. Then I installed the update assistant or support assistant app, and I start setting it up exactly how I want. Then I back up the image.
    For a lot of users, this wouldn't be ideal, but I typically do clean installs at least every year on all of my devices. It's just how I roll.

    • @BracerJack
      @BracerJack  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You are correct to say that for a lot of users, this wouldn't be ideal because they might un-install important stuff, but the cool thing about the cloning technique is once the clone is made, they can try to un-install what they know are bloats, and if they accidentally removed the wrong stuff, no big deal, they already have a clone of what was, no damage is done :D
      But your advise is sound for experts, remove the bloat and then make a clone.

    I always do exactly what you've described here, with one change. Every time I buy a new computer the hard drive is always configured as one partition, no matter how big the drive is. So I always shrink the partition, and then create a 2nd partition in the free space.

    Hello! First of all, very informative video and I have to thank you for keeping it simple and easy to understand :) Second, I bought a new laptop and am planning to back it up following this video but I also want to set up linux distro to use alongside windows, I am very new to installing another OS besides windows so I'm wondering if I can have both the OS and snapshot in the same ssb/usb? I have both an ssb and a spare usb which I was planning to store the distro on but it's fairly small and only 16 gb. Would I have to keep them separate? Thanks!

    • @BracerJack
      @BracerJack  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you for being appreciative alt7837 :D
      I am not experienced in installing/having two OSes in the same computer besides virtual machining but I understand that is not what you are referring to here.
      You can DEFINITELY have multiple clones on the same drive, no problem, I do that ALL the time, I have multiple states of my laptops all on the same external drive, no issue whatsoever, just remember to re-name them properly so you know which one belongs to which.
      Assuming you have not installed anything too big and everything is as pure as can be including all usually required drivers, the file size should be about 18.6 GB.
      The masterboot USB which is another separate device, only requires 600mb.

    I saw someone asking if they needed 1 or 2 external devices for this procedure and you said 2 but to be honest I don't quite get it yet... So please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm getting that for the *snapshot image step* is needed 1 portable drive BUT if you want to make the *restoration part* (let's say beacuse of a virus) then that's when you will need a second portable drive or usb, is that it?

      Answer:
      The USB drive is used to boot the system into a mode to accept the clone file.
      The other external SSD drive is the drive actually containing the clone file.

However, I already have 150 GBs of data on my SSD and cannot screenshot it onto my 32 GB pendrive, what should I do? Will the process still work if I deselect my SSD file and screenshot the rest?

    • @BracerJack

      I feel your dilemma.
      See if you can "temporarily" transfer your files and data into a separate drive.
      And then if nothing else "private" or "personal" in your system, execute the clone.
      But I must tell you though :-( It isn't going to be "straight out of manufacture" state when you made the clone, it will be as your computer is now.
      Could be worst though...you could have NEVER made the clone and have nothing and nowhere to return to, now THAT would be truly horrible.
