[@malan4676]

If I had an old computer should I just download the setup and transfer it to a thumb drive and then new that in my new computer and take the snapshot and then save the snapshot in that same thum drive and save it for future use?

[@TaskForceStudio]

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the image until after you've customized it with all the programs that you like to use because they're going to be so out of date they won't even update anymore so you'd have to uninstall them anyway and it just makes the image bigger than it has to be.

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.

For those complaining about the OOB snapshot being out of date, you can use Macrium Reflect at ANY time to back up your machine this way, so you'll always have a current system image to return to.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.

Bracer Jack ok one more question, you said that don’t update windows but the pc I’m building will have to boot up into windows updated so it’s that fine or is there any other way

[@Kaeribana]

The idea itself isn't bad, but most of the laptops slows down because dust accumulates among the components, so, for a fully *recovery* before reverting your OS make sure that your laptop is clean inside as well

[@BracerJack]

Your answer is incredibly useful in the hardware sense ! Thank you for dropping this comment, you have no idea, but you have helped a lot of people !

[@rdablock]

clean the fans and also replace the thermal paste if it gets slow

[@someoneyouneverknow7529]

Weird how dust get between components, Am I living in the desert?

[@EironKyle]

@@someoneyouneverknow7529 dust in itself is weird. It always accumulates itself especially on places which don't experience much activity. Not using laptop for a month could lead to dust build up inside it, but it's very unlikely that it would reach to the point where performance would be affected. It'd takes years of not using a laptop for that to happen.

[@BracerJack]

@@EironKyle Nice to see you commenting :-D I always make it a point to remove the laptop casing once every 6 months to at least clean the fan

[@ElectroPig]

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]

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...

[@ElectroPig]

@@BracerJack There are so few of us who understand the need for doing a regular backup...even less of us who think as far ahead as to even have the concept of a pre-first-boot backup...even AFTER you explain it to them! d;o) Over 20 years...first time I ever found anyone else who understood the concept, let alone who did it! \\=^D

Very good advice !!! 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.)

[@pressfinchat]

@@BracerJack The thing is, though, I cannot emphasize how much I am grateful for this video. Being able to restore to stock settings that came with the laptop is super valuable. I’m really glad I saw this video when I did. System Restore isn’t super reliable to remove viruses. Factory Reset can be troublesome for drivers and stuff, and it also doesn’t guarantee a full wipe of malicious code. To think I used to underestimate the value of a system snapshot, and a stock one at that.

[@BracerJack]

@@pressfinchat Only those who have been through a situation where this is needed knows how important this is, while some just looked at this video and go "meh, I will do it....later...", there is no "later" bro, you do it NOW. You are going to be a hero to your friends now, because you will be telling them how important this is. And you are right about the built in system reset/restore/whatever, for when their computer is infected by a virus, do they just magically believe the virus leniently through acts of compassion decided not to infected those specific files ? That is just crazy thinking 😬

if you need to use wifi to download Macrium Reflect, make sure your wifi is treated as metered connection in wifi setting. when you set up a connection as metered, your computer will no longer automatically download the system update through it.

[@BracerJack]

Thanks for giving some useful advise :D If your laptop is still working well, you owe it to your FUTURE self to make the clone now, for if in the future something happens, virus, bloatware, system registry errors, or things just generally not behaving correctly, you still have your clone of this moment and in just 5 minutes, get everything back to where it is at this moment. Save your future self, make the clone to an external drive and keep it forever ;p

Didn’t really understand the point until the end. Saving the earliest state where you have all of your customizations made instead of having to factory reset sounds really helpful

Yes, you understand! And not just that; you could save a state right after purchase to keep the "just purchased" state, you can have one where all your important programs are installed, you can have another where all your games are installed, you can have one where... endless! And if anything happens to your computer, like you got a virus or you accidentally clicked a setting or installed some program that seriously messed up your computer, you are just five minutes away from restoring everything back to perfection while those that have not made the clone will suffer.
