I'm moving to Windows 7 from Windows XP home, and I've seen variations of this question on here, but can't work out which solution is best for what I want, so I'd appreciate some advice.
I keep only my OS stuff/program files on C: which is the boot drive, and keep all my data elsewhere.
What I like to do is a clean install of Windows, put all my programs on with my settings , then when it's just as I want it, copy an image of it to an external hard disk.
Then, every few months when I want a clean install to get rid of the rubbish I've accumulated, I just restore the image over the C: drive and I've got a clean install in a couple of minutes (apart from updates). Saves hours of messing about each time.
That's all I want a copy/clone/backup utility to do, nothing else.
On XP I've been using Acronis True Image 10, but that doesn't work on Win 7.
What's the simplest way to do this in Win 7 pse?
