I have a doubt will you help me to get over it.... As you already mentioned in the old video which is really helpful....I'm going to buy a new laptop in fewdays... will you please tell me that what will be the minimum storage capacity required to store the snapshot....
Hi! I would like to ask if the image i have saved will still apply if i bought new ssd with different brand but with same storage capacity? My ssd has malfunctioned BTW. Thanks in advance!
@@jinkyfrias6586 I am assuming that you had done the clone long ago that's why you ask this question ? If so, the answer is as long as you are recloning back to same computer with the same hardware, it's no problem ! :-D
If I had an old computer should I just download the setup and transfer it to a thumb drive and then new that in my new computer and take the snapshot and then save the snapshot in that same thum drive and save it for future use?
To everyone wondering why it's better to back up the stock settings from the factory is because all drivers that were installed when you bought it are optimal for the laptop. If you fresh install windows we have to download the drivers which is newer than the stock ones which may or may not mess up the current state of the system. Not to mention windows updates are known to cause issues so yeah. Its up to you really whichever you prefer.
It's been 2 years after I bought my new laptop, and it was slowing down. I did what I learned from this video 2 years ago and it works wonders, I remembered this video and came back to comment AGAIN. Thanks mate!
I want to THANK you personally for taking the time to show your appreciation, you could have just see it and close the video but no...you took the time to say thank you. And I thank YOU for it :D
@@BracerJack ur welcome!! oh i wanna ask btw if my laptop atm is an acer aspire v5 and wanted plan to restart it when i already have a new laptop, would its operating system goes back to its original ver (windows 8) from the its current version i have changed a few yrs ago (windows 10) ???
I legit got a new laptop 4 days ago, but this still helps so much, I'll do this tomorrow, am Acer aspire 7, btw, how much space should we have in the external drive??
@@monojeons It you are talking about the built in windows restart, then it will ONLY restore to your most recent windows 10 update, not to the original pristine condition when you just got your laptop, that is why knowing this video is so useful, you will forever have the actual clone with you.
@@prince24117 I hope you are having fun using your new laptop ! The space you will need depends entirely on what is currently in your computer, so I cannot give you an estimate here.
@@upperdecker1750 Hello UpperDecker1750, I recommend this for ALL laptops, after you have made the clone, you can safely un-install the software as the clone is done.
Very thankful for this video. I followed this video when I got my laptop 2 years ago. I came back to this vid yesterday to restore my system due to adapter issues and I'm impressed by how fast it's running and how all my problems disappeared with the old partitions. Thanks once again 🙏🏾
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, for sharing your experiences Anda Mbambo. Many people are going to read this and it will help them understand what they should do as well. THANK YOU Anda Mbambo !!!
When I first made a snapshot was back in 2021, now I’m here watching again to restore that snapshot. Thank you man, you’re the reason that got me into using Macrium and know how to restore the disk.

To prevent the idea that your computer is slowing down, check your power options and turn off the "Turn on fast start up" option. This option does not allow your computer to fully cycle through a starting process. It bypasses small updates and special driver refreshes that are needed. Also, The Sleep option is worse for your battery than Hibernate. So be conscious of your power options and you will have a better time.
Thanks CB for your reply! I thought my computer had a virus because of the slow startup. I followed your suggestion and I noticed the change in speed immediately! 👍🏽
You know what is useful as well ? Your comment, you might think your comment is one of many but your appreciation brings a smile to my face and actually make my day better. Thank you Yolo Guy :D
@@scottzilla6769 You are a really nice guy for dropping a nice comment too ! Yes, new desktop, new laptop, do it, do it please, then whatever happens in the future, you will have no worries.
Thank you so MUCH JACK! I accidentally deleted some drivers and all of a sudden my GPU started whirring out of control and it was driving me nuts. Fortunately for me, I’ve followed your technique on every windows computer I’ve ever owned. It worked to the T and my problem was solved! SO MANY THANKS. This was an expensive prebuild PC and I DO NOT LIKE GOING THROUGH TECH SUPPORT!
It makes me so happy to hear that I almost cried. Thank you for sharing your story with me. Yes, we both love computers dearly and we really just want the best for our machines. I am glad that you will be able to bring your system back to perfection over and over again Mike :-)
@@BracerJack same bro i made a snapshot just for safety and then i got R.A.T by my friend who wanted my stuff so i just run the snapshot and reset my password and broke all communication with the dude without this vid he would have all my stuff i worked hard for
@@Ight-ight Nothing cleans your computer completely and replace it fully functional in minutes like a complete external clone, I am so glad you got control back of your own system !
I did this a week ago to my 9 year old laptop. It was always blowing the fan really loud for no reason lately. Reverted it back to 2014 and after a day of catching up to 9 years of updates, now it's nice and quiet again. Was gonna buy a new laptop this year if this didn't help, luckily it did. Really recommend this. Also don't bother waiting to create the image until after you've customized it with all the programs that you like to use because they're going to be so out of date they won't even update anymore so you'd have to uninstall them anyway and it just makes the image bigger than it has to be.
Everything that you have said are words of gold here, I really REALLY hope people can read your comment and realize just how important this is. Thank you for once again sharing what so many people just dismiss only to realize they should have done it a long time ago :D I am glad your computer is up and running well again and THANK YOU...for sharing your story DoozyTV. Thank you.
@@BracerJack just wanted to update. The fan noise came back not very long after. Seems my hardware isn't compatible with the codecs youtube uses, simply too old, and thus they put a large strain on the CPU, so unfortunately reverting to old image doesn't always fix it.
@@DoozyyTV Late but in youtube settings you can choose which codec it uses, maybe choose the older one and see if it works better, if you haven't tried that?
For those complaining about the OOB snapshot being out of date, you can use Macrium Reflect at ANY time to back up your machine this way, so you'll always have a current system image to return to. Of course, this would require a larger backup disk (usb, external drive, etc). Once backed up, you can even remove the OEM restore image if allowed, knowing you have a better version of the system image available.
Thank you Ruggiero AV Services, thank you for taking the time to explain to the people who indeed have questions that you have clearly and cleanly answered. Thank you :-)
@@kylecurry1410 for a drive dedicated to these types of backups, I would ensure it is at least double the size of the hard drive you wish to back up. If larger, it affords you the option of keeping multiple point in time backups to return to at any time.
@@kylecurry1410 You CAN copy/backup individual files to it as well, providing it is large enough. But I'd use it primarily for the system image backup.
I am STILL using the L340 to this day ! How have your journey been since the first time you watched this video ? What have you learned ? What happiness have you experienced ?
@@BracerJack It actually helps me throughout my college. I installed many softwares on my laptop and many saved files. Much faster than installing a new windows 11. I gave my L340 laptop to my father and transfer to M2 Macbook air because of the fanless design.
This video literally saved my life today....long story short I received my new laptop today afternoon quickly took a system image based on your tutorial, went to the IT department for some school software installations, didn't quite like some of the stuff done to it and now it's evening time, I just did a system restore and I'm happy, my laptop looks and feels brand new again😁😁😁😁😁😁
Oh man this is SO NICE to hear ! Yes yes yes, this comment of yours is representation of how IMPORTANT having a system image is ! Thank you for representing !

It is very straight-forward and I had no problems what-so-ever. Huge shout out to Bracer Jack...you rock!!!
Just bought my new laptop yesterday, my nephew approved it when I got home. He's not home now, but I thought I should set up anyway. Looked for a tutorial, found this before I started! Thank you!

Oh my goodness, I had this video buried in my Chrome tabs on my PC from months ago and my phone JUST recommended it to me AFTER I had started up my new laptop an hour ago. Wish I did it right the first time, but now I know better. This information is invaluable, thank you so much!!!
I tried to update my drivers, but accidentally installed the wrong drivers. Radeon wouldn't work and my laptop wouldnt detect the GPU. I couldnt find a way to restore the old drivers. Good thing i found your video before I bought my laptop. Did a reset to a previous image before I updated the drivers, now everything is working great. Thank you bro!
@@BracerJack Iam seeing this video after 3 months after i bought laptop i can't do this bcoz my windows c drive has 230GB occupied Or else can i do without tick the c drive?
I dunno why this got recommended to me but what I do know is that this is a blessing to me. I happen to be planning on getting a new latop and I'm glad I found your video. You've earned another sub ❤️
Nice to know someone else does that, too! I started doing a "pre-first-boot backup" so that I never even get to the initial setup boot before my first backup is done. Exact same process, only my first boot is from the USB stick. The reason I started doing that is because if I ever sell the laptop, I can either give it a "new out of the box experience" for whoever buys it, or I can pull the HD/SSD, replace it with a new one, and restore the original PRE-1st-Boot system image, while not wasting time worrying about lost files, as I keep the original drives with me. It works out to the same as having OEM reinstall disks...which NOBODY includes in the box any more, and most wont' even sell them to you, even if you're willing to pay extra for them!
YES This this this ! I also made a clone right after purchase for this very reason, if you ever decide to sell it, you reclone it back to the original "just purchased" state so that the next user will also have the exact "just purchased" state of the laptop. I miss those oem disks...
@@BracerJack There are so few of us who understand the need for doing a regular backup...even less of us who think as far ahead as to even have the concept of a pre-first-boot backup...even AFTER you explain it to them! d;o) Over 20 years...first time I ever found anyone else who understood the concept, let alone who did it! \\=^D

I started mine for the first time and connected to the internet today and spent hours having to update and restart over and over again. Wish I had watched this before! Lol
Well, now that all the unexpected crazy updates are done, if your computer is still working well, I HIGHLY SUGGEST you do a clone of it using this video's technique now and you will forever feel safe from now on knowing no matter what happens, you can always revert your system back to a functional state again in less than 5 minutes. :-D Thank you for your comment 😊
@@mrinalp Well, if everything is still functioning properly, now is the best time to quickly do the clone ! Then you will feel safe knowing regardless of what happen, you can always restore your computer back to your current state again. Don't do anything more, get that clone done first ;-p Your future self having computer issues will thank you !
Very good advice !!! I am learning people to do this from 2004 :) My first software was Ghost 3.1 (The first versions of Ghost supported only the cloning of entire disks. However, version 3.1, released in 1997 supports cloning individual partitions. Ghost could clone a disk or partition to another disk or partition or to an image file. Ghost allows for writing a clone or image to a second disk in the same machine, another machine linked by a parallel or network cable, a network drive, or to a tape drive.)
Hello Sebastian, if your PC is still working well, don't worry too much about the fact that you have connected to the internet, you may proceed to do the clone now. Try not to delay any longer, the longer you delay, the more junk accumulates in your system. Hope that helps Sebastian Rocks.
You have no idea how much you have done for me. I was just exploring when I decided to save this video in February, it has literally saved my computer bro. Thank you so much!
OMGOOOSSSSSGGGGHH!!!!!!! MY JAW IS AT THE FLOOR From the duration of this Mind-blowing discovery...😱😱😱THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS ... WOWWWWWWWW🔥
Bro this video saved my 999$ laptop !!!! Thank you !! My laptop went off during a Bios update for some reason I don't know (surely a bug) and it was no longer usable. Fortunately, I watched this video right after buying my new laptop and i was able to get my laptop like a new one following all your instructions in this video I was so happy! So you guys watching this video, don't hesitate to buy some USB keys (it only cost 20$ or less) and follow the instructions in this video. It can save your very expensive laptop ;)
Oh my God ! I am so glad this method saved you ! I would cry if my $999 laptop died without any way of saving it. Thank you so much for sharing your story Alien !
@@JK-uk3ih you can try it , i think it can save ur laptop from a big problem making it no longer usable. But it won't be as efficient as you've done it on your new laptop.
Watch out, also for m$oft updates, with regards to any hardware/firmware '' updates'' ! ONLY USE THE MANUFACTURERS'' drivers ! Especiallly bios ! i have flashed bios updates, many times. ya gotta know whats' goin on in there .....
The idea itself isn't bad, but most of the laptops slows down because dust accumulates among the components, so, for a fully *recovery* before reverting your OS make sure that your laptop is clean inside as well
@@someoneyouneverknow7529 dust in itself is weird. It always accumulates itself especially on places which don't experience much activity. Not using laptop for a month could lead to dust build up inside it, but it's very unlikely that it would reach to the point where performance would be affected. It'd takes years of not using a laptop for that to happen.
Congratulation on getting a new laptop ! And do remember to make the clone, so that you will always be able to return to your new computer state if anything happens to your computer in the future :D
I'm about to get my second gaming laptop and this video has just enlightened me. It has saved me. The lord has sent you and you are still in the comment section, bless you. I will spread word of your efforts!

Bro do you really like all the comments?. Like this was uploaded 9 months ago, but still u read the comments. Some UA-camrs won't even bother to read the comments even though it was uploaded an hour ago. You are awesome. Keep going.
@@chetanraikwal5766 Yeah, I really like this explanation, it's like the clearest because using this explanation, I can explain to everyone that they can save multiple states.
i don’t know why but i’m happy to see that you actively replying and help everyone who had a problem in this comment section. Thank you so much man, i learn a lot about laptop things from you 🙏🏻✨
if you need to use wifi to download Macrium Reflect, make sure your wifi is treated as metered connection in wifi setting. when you set up a connection as metered, your computer will no longer automatically download the system update through it. BTW loved the idea in the video. I wish I had done it to my laptop as well. Nevermind I will do it next time I buy a gaming computer/laptop in the future
Thanks for giving some useful advise :D If your laptop is still working well, you owe it to your FUTURE self to make the clone now, for if in the future something happens, virus, bloatware, system registry errors, or things just generally not behaving correctly, you still have your clone of this moment and in just 5 minutes, get everything back to where it is at this moment. Save your future self, make the clone to an external drive and keep it forever ;p
Thanks for that. We think alike. Before I bought this machine I had already made a bootable disc imaging drive. Thus I imaged my system so that I can restore it to the state it was in before I bought it, and I have kept the image on a NAS, USB drive and on one of my onboard drives. Perfectionism does not hurt in IT.

Bracer Jack ok one more question, you said that don’t update windows but the pc I’m building will have to boot up into windows updated so it’s that fine or is there any other way
I watched this video when I still dont have a laptop but now I just got my new laptop and the first thing I did is go back to watch this video😂. Thank you.❤
Oooo wouldn't THAT BE GREAT ! I want to go back to being with my grandfather again....I love him very much. What about you ? When do you want to go back to Steph Sancia ?
Super glad I saw this a few months ago before I got my laptop. Just did an image overwrite after suffering a massive virus attack. I owe my dear PC’s life to you, you beautiful man and, I never thought I’d say this, the UA-cam algorithm.
Oh wow wow wow.....YES !!! I KNEW someday people will understand the true POWER of this technique, so glad to see how you have utilize this technique to its fullest ! Now your computer is new again, as though nothing happened !!!
@@BracerJack The thing is, though, I cannot emphasize how much I am grateful for this video. Being able to restore to stock settings that came with the laptop is super valuable. I’m really glad I saw this video when I did. System Restore isn’t super reliable to remove viruses. Factory Reset can be troublesome for drivers and stuff, and it also doesn’t guarantee a full wipe of malicious code. To think I used to underestimate the value of a system snapshot, and a stock one at that.
@@pressfinchat Only those who have been through a situation where this is needed knows how important this is, while some just looked at this video and go "meh, I will do it....later...", there is no "later" bro, you do it NOW. You are going to be a hero to your friends now, because you will be telling them how important this is. And you are right about the built in system reset/restore/whatever, for when their computer is infected by a virus, do they just magically believe the virus leniently through acts of compassion decided not to infected those specific files ? That is just crazy thinking 😬
For once yt actually recommended best possible vid for me as i m getting new laptop tomorrow 🥺..Thank you so much sir for explaining each step carefully
Few questions: 1. If my friend purchase the same model laptop can I use the snapshot of his image in my 1 year old laptop 2. What if I resets and use snapshot 3. Can I use my image in different model laptop 4. Are I wearing two watch of same model.. Thanks for reply 👍
1: Yes ! AS LONG AS you are sure sure sure that the hardware is 1:1, exactly THE SAME or else, you will suffer from driver incompatible hell. 2: That would be a VERY GOOD idea too, man you are smart ! 3: No, driver compatibility hell. 4: Yes ! haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
@@BracerJack Drivers aren't that big of a problem. I moved both Windows 10 and Arch Linux from a Acer notebook to a MSI notebook and both had pretty different hardware. Actually in case of GNU/Linux mostly all drivers are in the kernel anyways.. As long as you don't move to a different architecture, there shouldn't be huge problems.
You are a wonderfully uplifting person that bring smiles to people with your words. I can only hope there are more people like you in this world Kurt Tayao :D
Muhammad Luqman Hakim Bin Abd Rashid, I think it is time for you to re-install windows from scratch, five is a long time especially when you didn't make the clone five years ago.

I had kept this for months and this literally just saved me from doing my immersion that i have to deliberately "break" my laptop and fix it. I already thought about doing this later and it might save me from hours upon hours of troubleshooting xd
Thank you. One very, very, important thing I did that saved my rear many times was to make a copy of the original Nvidia/Video card driver and place it in somewhere safe. For some reason, that version of driver is the only one that my laptop runs without problems!
And THAT is the reason why a clone is so good, any "update" forced down our throats, if it ends badly, can always be restored :D Thank you for sharing your knowledge !
I really wish I'd come across this video before my old Asus laptop suffered the blue screen of death. Might have saved me there but I'm definitely keeping this for future use, thank you so much! You'll be saving my family and I quite a number of times 😅

I wish I had seen this video a year ago. I bought a new laptop for school, it was also a Lenovo lol, and it was the perfect laptop. Now after a year of having it I think I've had to factory reset it at least 10 times! It would freeze or slow down after practically every major windows update. Some drivers would either not work properly or just not work at all. I've had so many problems with the webcam not working after updating, which was a nightmare as all meeting were being conducted virtually. Thankfully it was just a school laptop and I was able to backup my important files on a cloud drive.
Ok, sorry to hear that, but yeah even after you factory reset, all the updates done right after and since you have long purchased it will not be removed, those updates will stay, no matter if you factory reset it. So please let this be the last time you allow this to happen to yourself. Remember to follow this video to do the clone the MINUTE you got yourself a new laptop next time, don't do anything else with your new laptop until it is done !
Wtf.. I ordered my new Razer Blade 17’ QHD 240hz 3070ti a week ago. And because the delivery usually takes 2-3 days and the current week I’m on a vacation, I ordered it to the vacation place.

That was the very perfect time to see that video I can’t believe! Thank you!

@@BracerJack Actually I got it primarily for playing Rocket League competitevely. Because my old laptop was 15.4inch 120hz Razer Blade and I wanted to have a little bit bigger screen and a little bit faster refresh rate.

To everyone wondering why it's better to back up the stock settings from the factory is because all drivers that were installed when you bought it are optimal for the laptop. If you fresh install windows we have to download the drivers which is newer than the stock ones which may or may not mess up the current state of the system.

I legit got a new laptop 4 days ago, but this still helps so much, I'll do this tomorrow, am Acer aspire 7, btw, how much space should we have in the external drive??
@@monojeons It you are talking about the built in windows restart, then it will ONLY restore to your most recent windows 10 update, not to the original pristine condition when you just got your laptop, that is why knowing this video is so useful, you will forever have the actual clone with you.
@@prince24117 I hope you are having fun using your new laptop ! The space you will need depends entirely on what is currently in your computer, so I cannot give you an estimate here.

This is ACTUALLY a good advise for people. As a 20+ yrs IT expert definitely would recommend to follow it
Thank you for being kind, I wish you well :-)
Would you recommend this for gaming laptops as well? New to pc and just bought a gaming laptop. Trying to learn how to set everything up properly
@@upperdecker1750 Hello UpperDecker1750, I recommend this for ALL laptops, after you have made the clone, you can safely un-install the software as the clone is done.
Very thankful for this video. I followed this video when I got my laptop 2 years ago. I came back to this vid yesterday to restore my system due to adapter issues and I'm impressed by how fast it's running and how all my problems disappeared with the old partitions. Thanks once again 🙏🏾

To prevent the idea that your computer is slowing down, check your power options and turn off the "Turn on fast start up" option. This option does not allow your computer to fully cycle through a starting process. It bypasses small updates and special driver refreshes that are needed. Also, The Sleep option is worse for your battery than Hibernate. So be conscious of your power options and you will have a better time.
Helpful advise ! Thank you Sir 👍😊
Thanks CB for your reply! I thought my computer had a virus because of the slow startup. I followed your suggestion and I noticed the change in speed immediately! 👍🏽
@@iracamp-facey3516 Thats awesome! Im glad to hear it!

@@BracerJack thanks for this vid:)
@@BracerJack i will try and reslove the rat i think i know how to
I did this a week ago to my 9 year old laptop. It was always blowing the fan really loud for no reason lately. Reverted it back to 2014 and after a day of catching up to 9 years of updates, now it's nice and quiet again. Was gonna buy a new laptop this year if this didn't help, luckily it did. Really recommend this.
Also don't bother waiting to create the image until after you've customized it with all the programs that you like to use because they're going to be so out of date they won't even update anymore so you'd have to uninstall them anyway and it just makes the image bigger than it has to be.
Everything that you have said are words of gold here, I really REALLY hope people can read your comment and realize just how important this is.
Thank you for once again sharing what so many people just dismiss only to realize they should have done it a long time ago :D
I am glad your computer is up and running well again and THANK YOU...for sharing your story DoozyTV.
Thank you.
@@BracerJack just wanted to update. The fan noise came back not very long after. Seems my hardware isn't compatible with the codecs youtube uses, simply too old, and thus they put a large strain on the CPU, so unfortunately reverting to old image doesn't always fix it.
@@DoozyyTV Try to set the resolution to lower, that will stress your system a little less :-)
Good point!
@@DoozyyTV Late but in youtube settings you can choose which codec it uses, maybe choose the older one and see if it works better, if you haven't tried that?
For those complaining about the OOB snapshot being out of date, you can use Macrium Reflect at ANY time to back up your machine this way, so you'll always have a current system image to return to. Of course, this would require a larger backup disk (usb, external drive, etc). Once backed up, you can even remove the OEM restore image if allowed, knowing you have a better version of the system image available.
Thank you Ruggiero AV Services, thank you for taking the time to explain to the people who indeed have questions that you have clearly and cleanly answered.
Thank you :-)
How big of an external hard drive does this require?
@@kylecurry1410 for a drive dedicated to these types of backups, I would ensure it is at least double the size of the hard drive you wish to back up. If larger, it affords you the option of keeping multiple point in time backups to return to at any time.
@@djjoeyr Awesome thank you. Does the external hard drive have to be dedicated to this or can I store other files on it as well?
@@kylecurry1410 You CAN copy/backup individual files to it as well, providing it is large enough. But I'd use it primarily for the system image backup.

I just did it for my new laptop 2 seconds ago, im relieved. Thanks for the guide! Clear and concise.
New laptop ? Congratulations Juzo !
Yes, now it will stay new forever :D
Nice to know someone else does that, too! I started doing a "pre-first-boot backup" so that I never even get to the initial setup boot before my first backup is done. Exact same process, only my first boot is from the USB stick.
The reason I started doing that is because if I ever sell the laptop, I can either give it a "new out of the box experience" for whoever buys it, or I can pull the HD/SSD, replace it with a new one, and restore the original PRE-1st-Boot system image, while not wasting time worrying about lost files, as I keep the original drives with me.
It works out to the same as having OEM reinstall disks...which NOBODY includes in the box any more, and most wont' even sell them to you, even if you're willing to pay extra for them!
YES This this this !
I also made a clone right after purchase for this very reason, if you ever decide to sell it, you reclone it back to the original "just purchased" state so that the next user will also have the exact "just purchased" state of the laptop.
I miss those oem disks...
@@BracerJack There are so few of us who understand the need for doing a regular backup...even less of us who think as far ahead as to even have the concept of a pre-first-boot backup...even AFTER you explain it to them! d;o)
Over 20 years...first time I ever found anyone else who understood the concept, let alone who did it! \\=^D
I can't believe that this popped up instantly when my parents planned to buy me a laptop tomorrow. Thank you in advance!

@@mrinalp If it is STILL WORKING with no problem...you should clone it now.
Very good advice !!!
I am learning people to do this from 2004 :)
My first software was Ghost 3.1 (The first versions of Ghost supported only the cloning of entire disks. However, version 3.1, released in 1997 supports cloning individual partitions. Ghost could clone a disk or partition to another disk or partition or to an image file. Ghost allows for writing a clone or image to a second disk in the same machine, another machine linked by a parallel or network cable, a network drive, or to a tape drive.)
I am open to knowing about other cloning software's, thanks for sharing your experience user-bb2zg2dm8p :D

Who watched this after they opened their computer and connected to the internet..
Hello Sebastian, if your PC is still working well, don't worry too much about the fact that you have connected to the internet, you may proceed to do the clone now.
Try not to delay any longer, the longer you delay, the more junk accumulates in your system.
Hope that helps Sebastian Rocks.

This tip could just save lives of laptops and for when laptop starts running slow...
Your comment is lovely :-)
The idea itself isn't bad, but most of the laptops slows down because dust accumulates among the components, so, for a fully *recovery* before reverting your OS make sure that your laptop is clean inside as well
Your answer is incredibly useful in the hardware sense ! Thank you for dropping this comment, you have no idea, but you have helped a lot of people !
clean the fans and also replace the thermal paste if it gets slow
Weird how dust get between components,
Am I living in the desert?
@@someoneyouneverknow7529 dust in itself is weird. It always accumulates itself especially on places which don't experience much activity. Not using laptop for a month could lead to dust build up inside it, but it's very unlikely that it would reach to the point where performance would be affected. It'd takes years of not using a laptop for that to happen.

if you need to use wifi to download Macrium Reflect, make sure your wifi is treated as metered connection in wifi setting. when you set up a connection as metered, your computer will no longer automatically download the system update through it.
BTW loved the idea in the video. I wish I had done it to my laptop as well. Nevermind I will do it next time I buy a gaming computer/laptop in the future
Thanks for giving some useful advise :D
If your laptop is still working well, you owe it to your FUTURE self to make the clone now, for if in the future something happens, virus, bloatware, system registry errors, or things just generally not behaving correctly, you still have your clone of this moment and in just 5 minutes, get everything back to where it is at this moment.
Save your future self, make the clone to an external drive and keep it forever ;p
First, This is a whole computer time machine, second you can test viruses now on actual pc, this is so much helpful thx
he he he
You are DARING !
But yes, now that you have a clone done, you ain't afraid of any infections anymore.
Thanks for that. We think alike. Before I bought this machine I had already made a bootable disc imaging drive. Thus I imaged my system so that I can restore it to the state it was in before I bought it, and I have kept the image on a NAS, USB drive and on one of my onboard drives. Perfectionism does not hurt in IT.
Yes, what an excellent move !
Having a system image is one of the BEST thing anyone can do to save their system.
The algorithm has blessed me and you are a god for this video. Just bought a new laptop, and it's coming in next week. I will for sure be trying this.

@@BracerJack The thing is, though, I cannot emphasize how much I am grateful for this video. Being able to restore to stock settings that came with the laptop is super valuable. I’m really glad I saw this video when I did. System Restore isn’t super reliable to remove viruses. Factory Reset can be troublesome for drivers and stuff, and it also doesn’t guarantee a full wipe of malicious code. To think I used to underestimate the value of a system snapshot, and a stock one at that.
@@pressfinchat Only those who have been through a situation where this is needed knows how important this is, while some just looked at this video and go "meh, I will do it....later...", there is no "later" bro, you do it NOW.
You are going to be a hero to your friends now, because you will be telling them how important this is.
And you are right about the built in system reset/restore/whatever, for when their computer is infected by a virus, do they just magically believe the virus leniently through acts of compassion decided not to infected those specific files ? That is just crazy thinking 😬
For once yt actually recommended best possible vid for me as i m getting new laptop tomorrow 🥺..Thank you so much sir for explaining each step carefully
Oooo that feeling of getting a new laptop.....happy for you Yang Kai !
Few questions:
1. If my friend purchase the same model laptop can I use the snapshot of his image in my 1 year old laptop
2. What if I resets and use snapshot
3. Can I use my image in different model laptop
4. Are I wearing two watch of same model..
Thanks for reply 👍
1: Yes ! AS LONG AS you are sure sure sure that the hardware is 1:1, exactly THE SAME or else, you will suffer from driver incompatible hell.
2: That would be a VERY GOOD idea too, man you are smart !
3: No, driver compatibility hell.
4: Yes ! haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
@@BracerJack Drivers aren't that big of a problem. I moved both Windows 10 and Arch Linux from a Acer notebook to a MSI notebook and both had pretty different hardware. Actually in case of GNU/Linux mostly all drivers are in the kernel anyways..
As long as you don't move to a different architecture, there shouldn't be huge problems.

I like how I get recommend this after I had my laptop for almost a year
Is your laptop still working well ? If so please do yourself a favor and do the clone now.
Your lucky bud.. Mine is a 5 year old rog with a lot of junk file
Muhammad Luqman Hakim Bin Abd Rashid do a disk clean up
Mine is a 7 years old laptop, i use it till. I got alot of issues like the battery is gone, hdd problems, and much more
Muhammad Luqman Hakim Bin Abd Rashid, I think it is time for you to re-install windows from scratch, five is a long time especially when you didn't make the clone five years ago.
This is really interesting. I'm getting a new laptop and I just came across this video. Thanks for the video
I hope you will enjoy your new laptop !
And since you will be doing this, you will know that your laptop is now life assured forever.
@@BracerJack wtf its been 5 months and u still give replies 😬
U are god😑

Just purchased my ASUS Laptop couple days ago and now it’s shipping and then I get this video? I feel blessed
You ARE blessed :D
And Loved by the Universe :D
How could 😱
I just purchased a new laptop and its charging right now . Before using it I was lucky to see this video . THANK YOU SO MUCH 👌❤🥰🤩
You are very VERY lucky Awab Tarig :D
Do the clone while it is new and you will always have this state with you and you will always be able to come back to this new state at any moment's notice :D
Thank god, I just found this out, Im picking up my laptop today so having this knowledge is great!
Thank you ! Hope you will enjoy your new laptop !
My new laptop is being delivered today! saved this video in my playlist :)
Yeah ! Congrats on your new laptop !
What is the usb capacity required for cloning?
wth! fun fact: i've never searched for this ^
and i will have my new laptop by December! :D
thanks for the knowledge!
this is something that you don't see everyday ♥
And I appreciate you too Janel Bernardino :D

After 2 laggy laptops that are both broken now, finally a video that would actually help me how to make the 3rd one last longer. What a very nice timing, coz we're just about to purchase a new lappy tomorrow. Thank you for this video. ✨
Oh dear...yes, please take care of your 3rd computer :D
@@BracerJack I was going to buy a new laptop next week because my first laptop only lasted only one year and it slowed down very much it takes almost 10 mins to boot so thank you I will try this and hope it doesn't slow down
And sorry for my bad English 😅😅😅
I have already got my new laptop and have setup it normally before seeing your video. It waa 3 days back.
I just came to know now regarding this.
I want to have this snapshot for my new one. Please help, how to do?
@@YutakaKeiji Install SSD and see the magic. It will boot in just 10 seconds.
@@prashantchauhan1360 yeah lol HDD is trash
I had kept this for months and this literally just saved me from doing my immersion that i have to deliberately "break" my laptop and fix it. I already thought about doing this later and it might save me from hours upon hours of troubleshooting xd
Oooo, glad it helped you ! :D
I just recently bought my lenovo legion and I'm glad the UA-cam algorithm gave me this video.
Future me says thank you.
Future and Present me says thank you to you too !
Thank you.
One very, very, important thing I did that saved my rear many times was to make a copy of the original Nvidia/Video card driver and place it in somewhere safe. For some reason, that version of driver is the only one that my laptop runs without problems!
And THAT is the reason why a clone is so good, any "update" forced down our throats, if it ends badly, can always be restored :D
Thank you for sharing your knowledge !
I have some respect for people who still heart comments.
Thank you for respecting me Cheesy The Gamer, I respect you too !
I really wish I'd come across this video before my old Asus laptop suffered the blue screen of death. Might have saved me there but I'm definitely keeping this for future use, thank you so much! You'll be saving my family and I quite a number of times 😅
Let's hope so !
Let's hope that will be the last laptop you will lose to the blue screen of death :D
Wow. I am literally getting my new gaming laptop like within a week because my current old laptop isnt running properly because of the messed up drivers and windows updates because i bought it in 2013. This is going to be a life saver for me. Thank you so much Jack. I am gonna surely share this to all my friends.
I am so sorry to hear the forced update ruined your laptop.
Now that you have this information, you will be alright :D
2013? It was time to upgrade
I am saving money to buy me a 800$ laptop, after 9 months I will have it, my laptop is from 2013.

I mean, you never know when you'll get one in the future
You are the most dedicated UA-camr I've ever seen. Liking and replying to EVERY COMMENT! Kudos.
Because appreciative people like you exist !
I wish I had seen this video a year ago. I bought a new laptop for school, it was also a Lenovo lol, and it was the perfect laptop. Now after a year of having it I think I've had to factory reset it at least 10 times! It would freeze or slow down after practically every major windows update. Some drivers would either not work properly or just not work at all. I've had so many problems with the webcam not working after updating, which was a nightmare as all meeting were being conducted virtually. Thankfully it was just a school laptop and I was able to backup my important files on a cloud drive.
Ok, sorry to hear that, but yeah even after you factory reset, all the updates done right after and since you have long purchased it will not be removed, those updates will stay, no matter if you factory reset it.
So please let this be the last time you allow this to happen to yourself.
Remember to follow this video to do the clone the MINUTE you got yourself a new laptop next time, don't do anything else with your new laptop until it is done !
Wtf.. I ordered my new Razer Blade 17’ QHD 240hz 3070ti a week ago. And because the delivery usually takes 2-3 days and the current week I’m on a vacation, I ordered it to the vacation place. It came 4 days ago. But since I’m on a vacation and don’t want to play on the laptop, I decided to not unbox it while I am here but when I get home.. Which is actually tonight! That was the very perfect time to see that video I can’t believe! Thank you!
Your laptop's spec sounds so good....delicious !
I hope you are using it for your well being ! What will you be using it for ?!!!
3D modeling ? Video Editing ? Drawing ?
And you can thank yourself for making the clone, your future self will thank you over and OVER again.
@@BracerJack Actually I got it primarily for playing Rocket League competitevely. Because my old laptop was 15.4inch 120hz Razer Blade and I wanted to have a little bit bigger screen and a little bit faster refresh rate. And yea, I know I should get a PC instead of laptop mainly because of the bigger monitor but right now I don’t have enough space in home to put a desk, PC, etc.. because I don’t live alone. But now I’m working hard to save money for a flat that will be mine and that will be the time to switch to PC. ;d
Man, I like how this guy talks and emotes. Very theatrical.
Thank you Sir :D
What dedication too still like comments after all this time that has passed.
Thank you too for noticing Grass San :D
Dude, it is so weird to see this in my recommendations. I literally just placed an order for an MSI today.
Saving it for when the laptop comes :P
That's wonderful MidKnight ! I am thinking of getting a Helios or MSI or XPS someday when I have the $$$ :D
Shit i placed an order for msi today.👀
