Backup and Restore (Windows 7) – a utility for your Windows 10 or 11 PC

This post is on how to do a full Backup and Restore of your Windows 10/11 PC, using a backup system image you created, and then restore that backup image to a new drive – maybe your PC’s drive crashed or you moved to a bigger drive.

SanDisk Extreme PRO® USB – ‘Fastest USB I’ve ever owned’

Am no expert USB ‘Techie‘ but I do know what ‘Desktop Duty‘ is — it is the performance I expect from ‘My Computers‘, other hardware, my OS, and other software (to a lesser degree).

When I transfer a 4.46 GB Redcore.Linux.Hardened.2301.Sirius.KDE.amd64.iso from a download folder to a 128 GB USB (NTFS format), I don’t like waiting for 2-3 minutes – or more in some cases.
