I have an HP Envy laptop running 64 bit Windows 10 home. The laptop 2TB hard drive is not sounding very good and I want to replace it with a 2TB SSD before it fails. I have my user data backed up but I'd like to make an image of the drive that I can restore to the new SSD. I have iDrive so I created boot media and tried to do a full machine backup to the cloud, but Comcast's upload speed is so slow that it would take weeks to complete. I tried doing a full machine backup to a local 2TB USB drive but that is going to take days. It is about 800GB
I am wondering if there is a way to back up Apps and data so that if the drive dies before I complete the full machine backup, then I can do a fresh install of Windows 10 and restore Apps and data as well as my user data.
