I do have a backup made from day one , but you seem not experienced enough to know what I am asking . The backup from day one will restore the system only but not the factory reset system in case you replace the SSD. that is , it will not restore the hidden intact partition of win10 files and drivers , and will not rstore the booting utility partition. and you will need to use external USB for that in case the SSD is changed.
What you are saying is not called factory reset. Factory reset is built in without the need to carry ANY media or usb with you to do it. no iso , no usb , nothing just your notebook , you wont need internet as well.
and big no , the "create" back up is not remaking factory reset system , because it does not copy all the hidden partition , the hidden partitions cant be seen when you run windows , or when you run outside utility. the hidden partition are only visible when the booting partition utility runs , it has the code to "see" the hidden partitions .
now when the whole SSd is broken that booting partition that the bios UEFI boots from is gone , and the normal backup will not back it up to begin with , it is Hidden and needs special code to be seen. also the win10 files and drivers partition is gone as well .
I dont think you have the experience in this field at all.
bottom line : EVEN if you made backup from day one , this will NOT backup the factory reset system. it will just back up the system you installed. and when the SSD is broken you will have to live with normal image recovery.
Having said that , if you CLONE the SSD from day one using expensive non free image utilitiy that can see hidden partitions and allows its cloning then yes you can make a complete image of your SSD , but this means paying for the utility for its free version does not support cloning hidden format partitions.
Regarding the "Factory Reset", it is exactly that. To return the laptop to exactly as it came from the store.
It rebuilds the entire system.
And it is especially useful in case of a dead drive.
There is some magical keystroke or included application that will run that, and create this on a USB or series of DVD's.
This has been a thing since manufacturers stopped giving us physical DVD's.
Per licensing rules from MS, they are required to give the purchaser some way of "reinstalling the OS.
Either a physical DVD, or in a partition on the drive.
Every prebuilt system is like this.
This is completely different than a Clone or Image you make with other 3rd party software.
And about that 3rd party software...an application such as Macrium Reflect will do a Clone or Image of the entire drive, "hidden partitons" and all. The Free version does this.
I use this literally every day. This is the basis for my entire backup routine.
My main system has the paid version...all other systems in the house have the Free version. Not expensive, not inexpensive...Free. As in $0.
You can choose to believe that or not. Up to you.
Or, you can prove it to yourself. $0.

Free. Not a trial, no $$...Free.

Ok, sure. You go with that thought.
