How to Make System Image Backup on Windows 11

what you guys today we're taking a look at how to make system image backups on windows 11. this tool has been built into windows 11 since windows 7. but first let's have a word from today's sponsor if you're looking for a cheap windows 10 pro or cheap windows 11 pro oem key click on this one and then you can see we'll be the buy now page hit the buy now button put in my promo code capital b capital r09 and apply this to your order to get a juicy discount once you click apply it will be reduced down to 16.41 submit your order and then activate your version of windows 10 or windows 11 pro so the first thing we're going to do is go to the search box and type control panel open up the control panel and this will give us access to a bunch of features that are built inside windows as you can see here on the category section you should see backup and restore windows 7 under the system and security settings if you have got this sort of view then change it to category and then you can find the backup solution there so go back to category and then we need to do here is select backup and restore windows 7. so click on this one and from here you've got two options create a system image and create a system repair disk we're going to be creating a system image click on that one there and it will open up the create a system image box it's going to do some work here to get it prepared make sure you've got your drive installed into the computer that you want to back it up to or you've got a very large external drive here you can see this one has quite a lot of space on it but you have to make sure you've got enough space to copy the system image over to it so i'm going to change this destination to a another drive which has got terabytes of space on it so i'm going to go up to drive e and we can put it on there so that is going to be stored on a hard drive which is a separate hard drive inside my computer you can save it on a network location like a nas or something like that and you can also make more dvds i'm not sure that's a really good idea because that would just take forever to do so here we have our image files here that we're going to be copying across so from here you can see they're already check marked and it's going to take a fair bit of size because there's a lot of stuff on this drive so i'll advise you to do this on a drive that's just been installed with all the stuff that you want to keep don't try to put on their uh sort of antivirus programs because they will get outdated so just try and keep it bare bones with all the programs and stuff that you want to keep once you've got that done you want to make sure that all of the temporary files and all the old rubbish has been emptied off of the computer to make sure that that is not going to take up loads of space i.e you can see in the download section 150 gigabytes in use i shall empty that off and make sure all the other areas are cleared out as well with your temporary files once you've got that done you can go back into this uh section here i'm just going to quickly highlight the e drive here because i have cleared out some space and there we go i'm going to leave those check mark there and we can now push next so let's go next and you can see now it's got the selection here that it needs so all we need to do now is push start backup and this will start the backup to the location that we chose which is on our e drive and this will take up a fair bit of space so gonna let that copy across and again this does take a fair bit of time so be patient and then it's gonna ask you do you want to create a system repair disk now system repaired this can be used to boot to your computer and also recover from that image that you've made a backup on so it's always a good idea to have a system repair disk uh created you can use a usb flash drive to create a system repair disk if you want to here's the system image that has been created it's been put into a folder called windows image backup and you can see all the files here and these are the files that are going to be restored if you want to restore your system image and this will put it back exactly how it was when you created that system image and that is pretty much it that is basically how you can create or make a system image backup on windows 11. my name has been brian from brighttech computers dot co dot uk just want to say a quick shout out to all my youtube members who join my youtube members group i appreciate the support have a lovely weekend and i shall catch you in the next video thanks again for watching thanks for your continued support bye for now [Music] you
