How to use the new home computer? This question must be different for everyone, some people install software, some people install games. In fact, before starting to use a new computer, one thing everyone needs to do is to give your Win7 system backup. The computer is still useless. Is there any backup? Because the computer has not been used yet, we have to save this relatively pure and secure Win7 system for future restoration. In addition, it is very convenient to have a backup, whether it is to reset the system or migrate.
In Win7, there are two types of backup: backup the entire system and backup system settings /create system repair disk. Among them, system backup is the most thorough backup, which can integrate the whole system into one image file, which is very convenient on the restore and recovery system.
Backup the entire system
Open “Control Panel”→“All Control Panel Items”→“Backup and Restore You can enter Win7 Backup and Restore" Center.
Win7 Backup and Restore
Click on the “Create System Image” link in the left pane to enter the “Create System Image” wizard and the system will automatically find the backup device. Normally, it is backed up to a DVD disk or other location on the network for security advice on the system image. For example, we chose to back up the system image to the D partition of the same physical hard disk: select the partition from the list.
Create a system image
then click “Next” to enter the confirmation backup settings page. The system image backup not only backs up the system disk, but also backs up a hidden partition in Win7, which holds the system boot information (System Reeserved). After confirming the error, click “Start Backup” to start the backup work automatically. The backup time is related to the size of the system and the configuration of the host. Generally, it can be completed in about 15 minutes.
Save backup
System restore method
Normally, system restore is a last resort. Generally, it is used when a certain software or driver is installed and the software conflicts, and the system is unstable or even crashes. As far as Win7 is concerned, there are two ways to restore the system:
One is to enter the system, click the system protection tab to select the system partition that needs to be restored, and then click the <quo;system restore” button. Start the System Restore Wizard and select a recent restore point to complete the system restore process according to the wizard.
Press the F8 key while the system is booting to enter the system advanced boot options menu, select Repair the computer and press Enter to enter the System Recovery Options console. In this process, you need to select a user and enter a password to log in. Select and click System Restore to launch the System Restore Wizard, and the restore process is the same as in normal mode. In addition, running Startup Repair starts the system repair function, which runs System Image Recovery to recover the system from the backed up system image.
Small Tips:
In addition to saving backup files to your local hard drive, you can also back up to another drive or DVD. If you are using the Professional or Ultimate Win7, you can also choose to back up your files to the network.
