Presumably the app comes with a boot disk that will allow you to
explore the various OS's on the disks and overwrite the applicable
registry with the backup you created.
I'm sure Tom has tried this boot disk and it has no trouble telling
which OS the backup came from.

If DNS numbers are assigned automatically, does that mean they can

ascertained by a DNS query, may not hold the next day?

Automatic assignment of DNS usually means that you are assigned to use DNS
servers provided by your ISP, or ones that he has subscribed to (and is
directly or indirectly responsible for seeing that they aren't hacked or at
least has come to trust).

Your ISP's tech support want you to use their DNS automatically so that
they can gather statistics on what URLs you visit instead of someone else
gathering those statistics.
Note that they collect this in hopes of selling information about your
choices.
Automatic assignment of DNS usually means that you are assigned to use DNS
servers provided by your ISP,
I would not assume that my ISP manages their DNS well.
Following my own advice I changed my DNS to one listed with a fast
response time and the difference is significant.
The last slowdown seemed to last, if I recall, over at least a day if not
more. Seems like it would take a lot of people downloading a lot of movies
to keep it slow all that time, so just wondering. Of course, wasn't trying
to use internet all of that time.

It could take 9 or 10 hours to download one movie. And usually it's a
two way thing. You download a movie someone else has and someone
uploads one of yours.
