  1. I am looking for the best way to have an end user backup his Acer laptop using Windows 7, Robo Copy or Xcopy may be to difficult for him, I have to reformat his drive to install Windows 10, the upgrade keeps failing, the Microsoft Store told him it might be bad ram, but I disagree, a new fresh clean install should get it to complete the installation, will Windows 10 restore a Windows 7 backup, I want to make sure that I don't restore DLL's and System Files using a full backup image that are Windows 7 specific, and cause Windows 10 to no longer be stable.
  2. Trying to backup about 1 terabyte to a 2 terabyte drive. It fails with a backup error code 0x80780048. Why doesn't this work?
  3. have you ever hear do of copy and paste ? XD
  4. thanks
  5. can i use USB for backup ?
  6. Thanks for this video...
  7. In the video you expressly state ( I will also show you how to back up your files so you can transfer to a new computer) However, you did not show this. No disrespect intended. Here is my question. I back up my files, my computer crashes (harddrive is gone) I have to install a new hard drive, do I still need to install an OS OR, can I simply boot from USB and the external hard drive will do the rest? I would appreciate it if you could do a video on that. I think a lot of people have this issue and would love to see it live! Please shoot me a notice that you did such a video. If not? Can you walk me through the steps of a full hard drive failure and need a new HD, how to use this back up on external HD. Thank you... Hey also, what I wanted to back up my files to a windows 8 or 10? For my purposes all my files are actually backed up, it's the programs I would love to be able to restore with one click instead of going through the craziness of reinstalling them all. Charles
