De,
Have you ever looked at using 'AOMEI Bakupper ?

It can create a bootable USB stick designed to re-install your hard drive (with AOMEI). It can back up the System, a Disk, or a partition.

I use a relatively small C drive and a much bigger internal drive for data storage. With AOMEI I can create a 'backup file' of the entire C drive and store it on the data drive. Then create the bootable USB (with AOMEI) on a 64 gig flash drive. Copy the C drive backup file to the USB. Swap out the C Drive for a new blank drive, boot off the USB and restore the C Drive.

If microsnot fouls up your machine . . . Just restore the backup.

By the way, back while I was working the Guru told me to use AOMEI. We set it up to automatically backup the machine . . . One day I got bit by a Ransomware attack . . . Booted off the USB, restored off the backup file, and was right back in business.

I will start shopping for two decent and identical Windows 10 or 11 laptops. I'll install them with everything they need, then take them off the internet permanently.

With all the work I put into that book database, I can't afford to have Microsoft ruin it.
