My new PC did not come with backup/repair disks. I have now put on most of the software I want, and updated Windows 7 a fair few times, now do I make a backup to DVD, or would I be better creating an image to a USB HDD
What software is the best to do this? DG

yes do the above, so you have a set of "clean" install/repair disks....
......but also create an image of your current setup so you have all your installed progs, updates, drivers etc using macrium reflect free version
