Am I becoming paranoid?
Some years ago I had a laptop crash but had everything backed up ok. Then I got a PC and after a few years had a disk crash but all was backed up and it wasn't my C: drive so no great problem.
This last month I bought a new PC with Windows 10 installed on its SSD, and Windows 10 disc supplied, and completed copying all my files across this last week along with a copy of all files backed up to an external HDD.
Yesterday I started cleaning all files off the old PC and had almost completed checking there were no residual items that had not been copied across when the old PC just packed up. Nothing on the monitor and not even able to switch the PC off without pulling out the plug.
So now I am worried that if anything was to go wrong with the new SSD I would not be able to recover the situation, which brings me to my question:
Given that I have an SSD and only one HDD what sort of system backup should I need ? Should I install a second HDD or can I get away with a recovery disc, or have I enough to recover with the Windows disc and backup external HDD?
Excuse my ignorance but I just need reassurance that I am covered for any eventuality .
