So one day, the computer is going to crash and I like to be prepare for it. What I am doing current is to image the drive using AOMEI backuppper. This has been useful in the past when I had to restore the drive after it wouldn't startup after a windows update.
What else should I do though?
1. Should I create a windows recovery usb drive? In the past, this hasn't been useful because I would boot up the windows recovery only to discover that the version on the drive is too old. I also could not use a key generated on a different computer.
2. Are there encryption items that I need to record. I would think that if I had things like BIOS password, I would need to log that. I would also need to log things like bitlocker recovery password.
3. A lot of computer comes with some sort of recovery partition. I am wondering if they are still useful after a few years. That partition may contain really old version of windows.
Thanks.
