I worked in the IT industry for decades, and I recovered Windows servers when the servers failed and needed to be recovered. Eventually, every computer will fail. It could be sooner, or later. If you don’t have a backup, all your documents and photos will be lost forever. Windows has a backup method that is free and built in. Sadly, the built in Windows recovery software fails to recover the computer, when you need to recover! That’s why 3rd party backup software, like Acronis True Image exists.

This is great advice, I too worked in the IT field and what davephan is suggesting what I would do too if I were using Windows. After retirement I moved to Apple devices, they have been trouble free.
