Thread Name: Tech: Windows 10-what's happening - updates
Subject: RE: Tech: Windows 10-what's happening with rollout
A friend of mine recently upgraded his computer from Win7 (the last really logical solid NT-based Windows release, IMHO) to Win10 and is now trying to figure out how to find and do things. I wish him well.

My question to those of you who have been using it for a while (as I have, but that doesn't mean I studied every feature of it) is setting up a full computer backup. I appear to have the choice of going into the still extant but hidden Control Panel and selecting (Backup and Restore - Windows 7) as illustrated in an article on C|Net, or in using the Backup and Restore in Windows 10 (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17143).

The logical approach would be to use the Windows 10 backup as being most in tune with the OS, but the NT system was so solid that I'm wondering if any of you have compared the two systems and have conclusions you'd like to share? With questions like this I really miss JohnInKansas (whose name I came across when searching a tech question yesterday).

My old Win10 computer was backed up using the Win7 system illustrated in the C|Net article. This new Win10 is many updates, service packs, and versions out from that first Win10, hence the question.
