Product: HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop 690-0067c

I installed a NVME and a 1TB hard drive. My original OS and backup is long gone. I want to make a OS backup on my extra hard drive so that I can press a function key and do a backup. What program on Windows 11 will do that?  [Personal Information Removed]

The Windows Backup system.

 

Type Windows Backup in the search box to locate a link to it.

 

You would be better off keeping images of your PC.'s hard disk or SSD.
It is a  far more reliable way to recover your OS to a state it was in when there was a catastrophic OS or hard disk/SSD failure.  Keep your backup images on a separate storage device.
