Windows 11: Create full backup to external USB drive and restore (2024)

Nice - thank you so much -- very helpful.

Will it also recover all the software and files that i Have installed?

Thanks

Thank you

Good Information, and very help me, Thanks a lot Bro...

Everyone keeps saying clear instructions, straight to the point, simple, short, etc. ...











And they're not wrong.

Thank you! Is the backup device password protected automatically? Does it use my Windows password or my PIN?

You are a PC God!!!!

Thank you! Very useful 👌

hi, thanks how to create bootable drive to restore window 11

This is by far the best video I’ve seen. However up until the last step windows asks me for a DVD recovery disk or to create one, since I don’t have a DVD/RW DRIVE the system cancels my process. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

thx

You talk way to fast.

Like everyone who has commented before me, I say this is an excellent demonstration; "straight to the point, clear and crisp, short and sweet" All true. Thank you.

wow!!!! thx so much

Wow! Thank you man. No fluff, just straight to the point. Simple too. Awesome!

so i keep getting a message the backup location is not big enough despite the fact it's just formatted, has 1.8tb of space, and the amount to be backed up is 340gb

Super helpful guide, thank you

thanks!

Thank you for that! I appreciate the latest information for backing up files. (2022-23).

Does this work if you go back to Windows 10 and open the backup with win10?

I can read... can you please add a more detailed description of what is handled how in the video so I dont have to waste my time by watching into your video - in text you can cross read.

question, does this work from a Windows 11 PC to a Windows 10 one? Or do they both need to be in the same OS and version, for instance 22H2?

Very straightforward and crisp. Love it!

Once you get to select the backup image I use the latest available system image and click next. And it’s not the same. It stays to restore this computer windows needs to format the drive ect. I installed a new hard drive I do not have any installation discs…

thank you!!

ty!!

I have a USB with other files, when I continued to the step of "Where do you want to save the backup?" I receive a message that says "this device is not a valid backup location." How do I fix this? do I need an empty USB?

great tutorial thanks for taking the time to make it

Tanks

You went much too fast The text was too small to read.

Thank you 😍❤️

It says something like "backed up data cannot be securely protected for a network target"

If i backup these files, will i be able to install windows 10 after?

Well explain 👍

Is this specifically for usb sticks?

if i do this backup, am i able to go back to windows 10 and re download all my files without going back to windows 11 while downlodaing the files?

Great Video! Very helpful!

Short and sweet. A very clear guide.

Very helpful! Thank you very much <3
