You can choose to make a back-up of your files, settings, or a complete image back-up of your computer, including operating system, settings, files and apps. There's a web page that gives you step by step instructions on how to do this below. Hope this helps. http://www.windowscentral.com/how-make-full-backup-windows-pc Scorpio -----Original Message----- From: Dacia Cole Sent: Sunday, September 20, 2015 8:24 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] upgrading windows 10 questions Yes, Thank you for the detailed instructions I found them very helpful. I plan to upgrade soon. The part of my question that didn't get answered is how to do a system backup so I can back all my stuff up on to my external hardrive in case my upgrade goes crazy and I lose things? I don't anticipate that, but you know how computers can be.
