hi
i've never backed up my PC's OS before - people say make a copy of Windows on a thumb drive as back up but isn't a SSD more reliable ?
my boot drive is a SSD (250GB) with another SSD (500GB) and External HDD as storage + backup.............the boot drive has my only copy of Windows10 Pro (the OS from a PC shop that built my PC)............i plan to clone the boot drive to a 3rd SSD - is that okay ?
the boot drive SSD has Malwarebytes and it quarantined 31 items on the 1st day i had the new PC so they might be Windows10 files - should i ''release'' the 31 items from quarantine before i clone to the new SSD............ or just leave it since the PC is running okay............?
i also uninstalled some Windows10 apps and disabled the Hibernate File - if i clone to the new SSD - the apps and Hibernate File won't be there, right ?
lastly, can i later on ''remove'' Windows10 from the 3rd SSD but retain other info on that SSD ?
