If Something Goes Wrong

Develop good computing habits

Backing up your data or your entire 
computer with the Windows operating 
system

The most valuable component of your computer system is 
the data you create and store on its internal storage drive. 
Since problems with either hardware or software can make 
the data inaccessible or even destroy it, the next most 
valuable component of your computer system may be a 
recent backup of your data.

Fortunately, the Windows operating system offers a 
convenient way to back up your computer or just your 
important files to a flash drive, or external hard drives. An 
external hard drive is recommended in case the internal 
storage drive fails.

Follow these steps to back up your computer or files to a 
flash drive, or an external storage drive:

You cannot back up the computer while running on 
battery power. Connect the AC adaptor before 
continuing.
