Go easy folks
never owned a Laptop and had minimal use of one
basically a beginner in Laptop World
just pulled the trigger on a new Laptop comes with Windows 8 pre installed
apparently is comes with no Windows back up media which presumably means no windows 8 disc
so I guess the first thing I do is make a back up of the boot drive and all its files
I used to use a program called 'ghost' to clone the drive years ago and although it was a bit shakey it backed any drive up to another drive
not having done this for years what is the best way to back up a new Laptop so if it goes belly up I can restore it to like the day it came
must add I have never used or even seen Windows 8 and I now believe there is a newer version windows 8.1 now out
does my version upgrade via windows update to this???
thanks
