OK, So I've got Windows 10 installed from my Win7 SP1 disk. My first question is at some future point, will I be able to reinstall from that? And my 2nd question, seeing as that would be insane and take forever, what is the best way of backing up/being able to reinstall up my windows 10 installation?
Thanks,
James.
Once Win 10 is installed and activated you no longer need to use the win 7 SP1 disk to reinstall. You can just reinstall win 10. The Microsoft servers keep a hardware hash of your computer so that if win 10 is reinstalled it will remember it as activated. To check that you are activated go to Settings>system>about>System info. If you are activated you are all set. It may be a good idea to make a Win 10 iso in case you ever have to reinstall. Here is a tutorial for that https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/9...-download.html.
There are tons of free backup software to choose from. One of the most mentioned ones is Macrum Reflect Free. The trick is to choose one and use it.

Here is the Media creation tool. Just download and you can create a DVD or a flash drive using the ISO.
