Is it possible to create a bootable backup of the entire system drive?
Just wondering for transferring to other drives.
Also because I'm kinda curious about making my own Windows distro of sorts. I have my own way of setting up Windows to be secure and private with nice open-source programs which many people really like, but I'm really tired of repeating the whole process over and over again (it easily takes 2-4 hours to do depending on the speed of the computer).
Thought maybe it'd be possible to make my own distro and replace the license key with theirs when I install with a new system (and then install drivers relevant to their hardware). This would cut-down on the time and work the process takes tremendously as well as hours of explaining if I'm helping someone long-distance.
If not then at least I'll know how to move from one hard disk to another when I need to.
I'm figuring it's not quite as simple as just copying all the contents of C: over to an external and moving them to another computer's C: drive and expect the new computer to boot it like normal, right? Further I expect some files would give me a hard time while trying to move them, I know Windows has protected files.
Thanks.
