As title im changing mainboards and CPU's soon so will reinstall windows, however I really like my install I have now and don't wish to reinstall everything, I have everything setup just right.

I am going from a 3770k setup to a 4930k as I need more cores for video editing.

Windows 8.1 system image backup isnt working at all, and cba fix it.

So I will get free image backup software - what do you recommend OCUK and also if I install windows 8.1 clean again, can I just then reinstall the free software and 'recover' the backed up origonal image with all my software and everything ready to use as it is now ?
