Perhaps you were lurking for laptop suggestion in youtube.. The algorithm tends to suggest stuff thats related xD

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the image until after you've customized it with all the programs that you like to use because they're going to be so out of date they won't even update anymore so you'd have to uninstall them anyway and it just makes the image bigger than it has to be.

For those complaining about the OOB snapshot being out of date, you can use Macrium Reflect at ANY time to back up your machine this way, so you'll always have a current system image to return to.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

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.)

This will depend heavily upon the laptop you buy. I bought a new gaming laptop that was basically broken at the driver level when I bought it, and it didn't start working properly until I had updated everything I could. Not all manufacturers will make sure that their firmware is in order right out of the box, so keep that in mind before backing up your system image.

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...

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. Also, The Sleep option is worse for your battery than Hibernate. So be conscious of your power options and you will have a better time.

I usually do a clean install whenever I buy a new laptop. I look at the system, I make a note of what the company's update assistant or support assistant is, and then I do a clean install of Windows. Then I installed the update assistant or support assistant app, and I start setting it up exactly how I want. Then I back up the image. For a lot of users, this wouldn't be ideal, but I typically do clean installs at least every year on all of my devices. It's just how I roll.

[@BracerJack]

You are correct to say that for a lot of users, this wouldn't be ideal because they might un-install important stuff, but the cool thing about the cloning technique is once the clone is made, they can try to un-install what they know are bloats, and if they accidentally removed the wrong stuff, no big deal, they already have a clone of what was, no damage is done :D But your advise is sound for experts, remove the bloat and then make a clone.

I always do exactly what you've described here, with one change. Every time I buy a new computer the hard drive is always configured as one partition, no matter how big the drive is. So I always shrink the partition, and then create a 2nd partition in the free space. I can then store all my data on the 2nd partition, including disk images of my OS on 1st partition, and can backup/restore the 1st partition at any time without losing my data.

@@someoneyouneverknow7529 dust in itself is weird. It always accumulates itself especially on places which don't experience much activity.

It'd takes years of not using a laptop for that to happen.
