Newbie - backup before win11 update + restore
#1
I'm looking for a reliable way to backup my windows 10 laptop before trying a Flyby11 windows 11 update just in case anything goes wrong, is this software suitable for this?

I have a single HDD TB, (Disk 0 931.51GB)
From Disk Management, Partition sizes are...
C 199.71GB capacity, of which 69.37GB is free, system, boot drive
E 730.93GB capacity, of which 102.85GB is free, logical drive
(Disk 0 partition 2) 889MB capacity, of which 889MB s free, recovery partition

C contains win10 and my files, E contains only media files.
I need to backup at least C, possibly E if I have the space.

I have an external USB drive with about 580GB of free space.
Can I make a backup to this drive and retain (not overwrite) the roughly 340GB of stuff I already have on the ext HDD?
What are the best settings to use to be able to restore this drive? I need to backup C, E is less important but would be nice if I could.

If things go wrong when updating to Win 11 how can I restore back to Win 10, do you just plug in the Ext drive and or do I need some other software to make it boot?

Thanks,
Reply
