Product: HP Spectre 360
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

There are some options for recovery & backup in the HP manual. I want to hear hands-on experience of others.

 

1.

When I reinstall Windows 10, is there any way to migrate ALL THE SETTINGs to the newly-installed Windows 10?

 

I back up the files in the external HDD.

 

2.

How can I prepare for the case in which my laptop isn’t booted?

Hi:

 

What I use is this free disk imaging software...

 

https://www.macrium.com/reflectfree

 

Get a portable hard drive large enough to save the image on.

 

The software will also prompt you to make a rescue USB flash drive or DVD which you boot from to access the image stored on your portable hard drive.

 

You can make a new system image anytime you want to keep it updated.

 

Then if you ever need to reinstall W10, you can use the latest image you made to be as close to where you were.
