How to create a universal backup ?
Hi,
I want to create a universal backup so that I can restore Windows 10 on any machine with a different hardware. I have heard that apparently Windows 10 is better with hardware changes now in comparison to Windows 7 where system would either bluescreen or be stuck in a reboot loop.
I'm thinking to just uninstall all the drivers, run Sysprep then shut down Windows 10 . After that I would make a backup so that when I restore it, Windows 10 will detect different hardware and adjust all the drivers. Would that work ?
I also have a few questions:
1) Would the above method preserve all of my Control Panel Settings, Windows Settings App, Group Policy and user environment ? I have heard that Sysprep can have issues with correctly preserving user environment after initiating sysprep.
2) I need a free imaging tool that I can boot into from USB stick and make a cold backup of Windows from its own environment rather than just installing a software in Windows. I have used Norton Ghost for Windows 7 before and I'm looking for something similar. I was thinking about using Clonezilla but I don't know how compatible this software is with Windows 10.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
