Re: Setting up new laptop
I'd be tempted to ignore Microsoft's offering and go for an independent disk imaging program. I use AOMEI's `Backupper` program, it's very good (IMO) and is free. The program creates an image of your PC's drive as a file which can then be copied to an external drive. You can also create a disk restore DVD which can be used to boot your laptop and use the file to recreate your drive exactly as when you backed it up.Re: Setting up new laptop

Just read that linkRe: Setting up new laptop
I don't know how you've got your PC's hard drive partitioned (divided into different sections) but mine has two partitions - the C: drive where Windows and the operating system is stored, and a D: drive where all by files, data, photos and music are stored. When I image my C: drive, the file is copied to the D: drive and there it can be stored safely but also copied to an external USB drive, that way, you always have two copies.Re: Setting up new laptop
