Hello all.. Long time Dell user and prior frequent forum visitor, so this question may seem very basic. Sorry.
I just purchased an Inspiron 5368 (got a new one at the outlet for a good price and thus far am VERY impressed with the machine) and have a back up question.
If use the Windows 10 built in utilities and create System Image onto a USB hard drive and then, also inside Windows 10's built in utility, create the System Repair USB drive, could I use that if I ever had a hard drive failure? I am thinking...
A) replace hard drive with bare hard drive.
B) Boot to Repair USB Drive.
C) direct it to reinstall my System Image.
D) have basically the same system (other than the new hard drive...)
Seems correct from what I know, but just want to make sure. I tend to take backups seriously... Currently use Acronis, but don't actually have it installed anywhere to create the boot USB drive, just boot from the install CD and it works fine. But the 5368 has no optical drive so plan on using the above method if it will achieve the goal should the need arise.
