I did that last week as I had to expand the partition I use for downloaded videos and created a new partition for the rest of the stuff on that partition. Perhaps one of the best options in Todo is the ability to move and adjust partitions on the target drive. All I need do is insert a backup SSD in one slot and HD in the other and away I go. I have been using slide trays from the Win 98 and XP days, and went to trayless bays when I moved to Win 7 in an all new box. On the tower, I have an SSD for C: and a 3TB WD drive for long term ‘bulk’ storage. As a user of EaseUS Todo for at least 7-8 years, I can report it’s quick and easy to use on both computers. Having a tower computer and a laptop, my backup methodology is different for each. If you choose to boot into the PE option you then get straight into the Recovery screen where you can click on Recovery and you can restore the entire hard drive. When you reboot you’ll get the option to choose a recovery option. This makes it easier to boot into a recovery session to restore your full computer. While there, you can click on the menu, then on that wrench icon and click to Enable PreOS. In this example I’m using a virtual hard drive, but you’ll want to make a full backup of the C drive and copy it to an external drive.


You can also select a home NAS unit but these are typically more expensive. I always purchase one (or more) Western Digital USB hard drives to make a full backup.

Once you’ve built the rescue/WinPE it will ask you what sort of backup you want. It will ask you if you want to make an ISO, or a flash drive or a cdrom drive. You can also try each of these backup software out for 30 days to see if you like one versus the other.Īfter you purchase the software, and enter the activation key the first thing it will ask you to do is if you want to create a WinPE bootable disk First I recommend buying the software – because it gives you additional options such as building automatic Windows PE and inserting boot options.
