The first task that must be done when you are in a new operating system is to backup your system files.Each and every pc or laptop at anytime,can be affected by a virus.Since we are always connected to the internet,the chances are more.You can make use of antivirus softwares to get rid off viruses,but backing up your files is inevitable.It is preferable that you install the basic drivers for audio(Realtek),video,graphics and so on,and then take a backup in a DVD or pen drive.
In Windows7,I took the full system backup easily.But,it required two DVD's.This backup could be used to restore all the files and folders in System drive(C Drive).But in Windows8 I didn't find this option directly.So,did I post it.In Windows8 also there is backup options.You can access it from the Control Panel.There are many options available.They include creating system image,creating system repair disc,create full backup,etc.If you need to completely backup system drive so that you can completely restore it later at any time,do the following steps.
1.Go to right top corner to access the settings tab.
2.Click on control panel
3.In the control panel,on right top,you can see 'view by' tab.Change it to large icons.
4.In the new window,at the right bottom side of the list you will be able a 'Windows 7 File Recovery' tab.Click on it.
5.Now,click on 'Backup now' button.
6.A window displaying 'creating shadow copy' appears.
7.In the next step,you can select your system drive(C) and optionally other drives.There are customizable options for backing up desktop and user documents also.
8.After selecting the required options,you will be asked to insert the disc.Insert the DVD.
After about 30 minutes,your full system backup will get completed.In Windows 7 if it required 2 DVD's,here in Windows 8 a single DVD is enough and more.After doing all these,you can really fell free to do anything,since you have your full system backed up inside a single disc.
