When it comes to a Reinstalare de Windows, what decreases our enthusiasm is not the actual installation a the operating system, ci RE to it according to your preferences and, above all, installing all Security updates, which are gathering more and more every day and consuming precious time in certain circumstances (such as cases in which reinstallation occurs after a System Crash caused by a virusare or Defective hardware components – and must be covered an deadline, or when the operating system must be installed on computers several customers within a few hours).
Obviously, the best way to avoid both the system reinstallation, its reconfiguration and the installation of the necessary applications, as well as the security updates is Creating a backup image of the operating system, either using the utility Backup and Restore included in Windows, either using a aplicatie third-party such as Acronis Backup.
