How to create a Windows 10 archive. Methods for creating an ISO image on Windows. Other Windows Image Burning Applications

One day, Windows 10 may not start. Fortunately, restoring the system will take a maximum of a day if you use backup copies and the necessary arsenal of programs.

Why do you need to back up Windows 10 with disk contents?

Backup- this is creating an image of drive C with all installed programs, drivers, components and settings.

Backup copy operating system since already installed drivers is created in the following cases:

  • it is necessary to effectively restore a Windows system that has suffered a sudden crash, with minimal or no loss of personal data, without spending extra time on it;
  • it is necessary to restore the Windows system without re-searching for drivers for PC hardware and OS components found, installed and configured after long searches and experiments.

How to create a copy of Windows 10 and restore the system using it

You can use the Windows 10 Backup Wizard, built-in Command Prompt tools, or third-party applications.

Backing up Windows 10 using DISM

The DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) utility works using the Windows Command Prompt.

  1. Before you restart Windows 10, press and hold the Shift key. Restart your PC.
  2. Give the command "Troubleshooting" - "Advanced options" - "Command Prompt" in the Windows 10 recovery environment.

    Windows Recovery Environment has a full arsenal of startup repair tools

  3. In the opened command line Windows line enter the command diskpart.

    The slightest mistake Windows commands 10 will cause them to be entered again

  4. Enter the list volume command, from the list of disks select the label and parameters of the partition on which Windows 10 is installed, enter the exit command.
  5. Type the command dism /Capture-Image /ImageFile:D:\Win10Image.wim /CaptureDir:E:\ /Name:”Windows 10”, where E is the drive with installed Windows 10, and D is the disk on which the OS backup will be written. Wait until the copy of Windows is finished recording.

    Wait until the Windows disc is copied

Windows 10 and the contents of the drive are now written to another drive.

Create a copy of Windows 10 using the Backup Wizard

Working with the “Command Line” is the most professional way, from the point of view of users. But if it doesn't work for you, try the built-in Windows 10 Backup Wizard.

  1. Click Start and type in search bar main Windows menu 10 word "reserve". Select "Backup & Windows recovery 10".

    Launch Windows Backup from the Start menu

  2. In the Windows 10 file log window, click the “System Image Backup” button.
  3. Confirm your choice by opening the “Create a system image” link.
  4. Select the option to save the Windows image you create.

    Choose, for example, to save the Windows image on an external drive

  5. Confirm saving the Windows 10 disk image by selecting the partition to save (for example, C). Click the start archiving button.

    Confirm archiving the image by selecting a disk from the list of partitions

  6. Wait until the disk copy has been written to the image. If you need an emergency Windows disk 10, confirm the request and follow the prompts of the OS Rescue Disk Wizard.

    Windows 10 Rescue Disk can make OS recovery easier and faster

You can start restoring Windows 10 from the recorded image.

By the way, saving on DVD discs is the most irrational way: the inevitable consumption of 10 “discs” weighing 4.7 GB with a C drive size of 47 GB. A modern user, creating a C partition of tens of gigabytes, installs 100 large and small programs. Games are especially hungry for disk space. It is unknown what prompted the Windows 10 developers to such recklessness: CDs began to be actively replaced already in Windows times 7, because then sales of terabyte external hard drives, and an 8–32 GB flash drive became the best solution. It wouldn't hurt to exclude burning to DVD from Windows 8/8.1/10.

Why and how to delete Windows 10 backups

The decision to remove unnecessary copies of Windows accepted in the following cases:

  • lack of space on media to store these copies (storage disks, flash drives, memory cards are full);
  • irrelevance of these copies after the release of new programs for work and entertainment, games, etc., deletion of “outdated” documents from drive C;
  • need for confidentiality. You do not leave secret data behind, not wanting it to fall into the hands of competitors, and get rid of unnecessary “tails” in a timely manner.

The last point requires clarification. If you work for law enforcement agencies, a military plant, a hospital, etc., storing disk images of Windows and personal data of employees may be prohibited by regulations.

If Windows 10 backup images were saved separately, deleting the images is the same as deleting any files on a healthy system. It doesn't matter what drive they are stored on.

Don't create difficulties for yourself. If image files have been deleted, restoring from bootable flash drive it won’t work anyway: there will be nothing to roll back Windows 10 in this way. Use other methods, such as troubleshooting Windows startup or new installation“dozens” through a copy-image downloaded from the Microsoft website or from torrent trackers. Here you no longer need a bootable one (LiveDVD loader), but a Windows 10 installation flash drive.

Backup and restore Windows 10 Mobile

Windows 10 Mobile is a version of Windows adapted for smartphones. In some cases, it can also be installed on a tablet, if the latter does not have impeccable performance and speed. Windows 10 Mobile has replaced Windows Phone 7/8.

Features of copying and restoring personal data in Windows 10 Mobile

In addition to work documents, multimedia data and games, Windows 10 Mobile archives contacts, call lists, SMS/MMS messages, diary entries and organizer - all this is a mandatory attribute of modern smartphones.

To restore and transfer data to an image using the command Windows console 10 Mobile is more convenient to use any external keyboard and mouse than to type long commands with numerous parameters from the sensor for 15 minutes: as you know, one wrong character or an extra space, and the CMD command interpreter (or PowerShell) will generate an error.

However, not all smartphones with Windows Mobile(as in the case of Android) will allow you to connect an external keyboard: you will need to install additional system libraries and, possibly, compile the OS code in the hope of seeing the coveted cursor and mouse pointer on the smartphone screen. These methods also do not guarantee 100% results. If there are no problems with tablets, then with smartphones, due to the too small display, you will have to tinker.

How to Back Up Windows 10 Mobile Data

Windows 10 Mobile, fortunately, bears a great deal of similarity to desktop Windows 10: it's about as similar as Apple versions iOS for iPhone and iPad.

Almost all Windows actions 10 have something in common with Windows Phone 8. Most of them in Windows 10 Mobile are borrowed from the regular “ten”.

  1. Give the command “Start” - “Settings” - “Update and Security”.

    Select the updater and Windows security Mobile 10

  2. Start Windows 10 Mobile Backup Service.

    Select Windows 10 Mobile Backup Service

  3. Turn it on (there is a software toggle switch). Settings may include both copying personal data and settings already installed applications and the OS itself.

    Enable copying data and settings to OneDrive

  4. Set up an automatic archiving schedule. If you need to immediately synchronize your smartphone with OneDrive, click the “Back up data now” button.

    Enable scheduling and define specific app personal data to be transferred to OneDrive

Since the size of drives C and D on a smartphone is often not as huge as on a PC, you will need an account cloud storage eg OneDrive. The data will be copied to the One Drive network cloud using it. All this is reminiscent of the work of the Apple iCloud service on iOS or Google Drive in Android.

To transfer data to another smartphone, you also need to log in under your account OneDrive. Perform the same settings on it, the Windows 10 Mobile backup service will download all personal files from the cloud to the second device.

Creating a Windows 10 Mobile image

Co Windows smartphones 10 Mobile is not as simple as it was with the regular version of Windows 10. Unfortunately, Microsoft has not yet provided a working tool for creating pure Windows 10 Mobile backups. Alas, everything is limited only to transferring personal data, settings and applications installed on a smartphone to another smartphone. The stumbling block here is the difficulty of connecting Windows smartphones to external hard drives and flash drives, despite the MicroUSB interface in many smartphones and OTG connections to it.

Reinstalling Windows 10 on a smartphone is possible mainly via cable using a PC or laptop and a third-party program installed on the latter, for example, Microsoft Visual Studio. If you are using a smartphone that had Windows Phone 8, you need an official Windows support 10 Mobile of your model.

Backing up and restoring Windows 10 from backup copies is no more difficult than working with previous ones Windows versions in the same vein. Disaster recovery tools built into the OS itself, as well as third party programs for the same task, it has become many times larger.

Friends, hello everyone! In this article we will continue the topic of computer security and data preservation. So now I’ll tell you about creating an image Windows systems 10 regular means. And we’ll try to copy it even to a flash drive.

By the way, the method described below is quite suitable for Win 7, since the whole procedure is done in complete analogy. Now a few words about the essence of the image being created. Its difference is that it can contain a complete copy of a PC disk.

So, let's go. Remember, our task is to copy the system partition to a USB drive. To do this, first of all we go to the Control Panel and follow the path “Small icons-backup copy and restore (Windows 7)":

And look, it says here that this recovery archive can be used even if your hard drive or computer fails. I wonder if it’s really possible to upgrade the system on new hardware using standard means? If so, then respect and respect to the guys from Microsoft. But to be honest, I seriously doubt it. Although...

Now about saving to a flash drive. As you can see in the picture below, it is available in the device selection list. But there is one caveat - it must be formatted in NTFS:

And one moment. In this way, only standard system directories necessary to restore the functionality of Windows and programs are copied. Arbitrary user folders and files are not taken into account. By at least, I understand so. But below we will still consider the option of a full backup.

So, since about such requirements for file system I didn’t know if we would copy the archive to the second partition of the hard drive. In my case it is called Multimedia:

Well, click the “Archive” button and wait for the Windows 10 image to be created. I must say that here everything depends on the amount of information being saved, but in any case you will need to wait a while.

Upon completion of the process, a folder will appear on the disk we specified WindowsImageBackup with fallback image:

Now a few words about how such an archive can be used in practice, for example, in a critical situation. It's very easy. If the system is crooked, but boots, use the "Recovery" function of the Win 7 backup partition:

Now let's look at another section of this panel, which is called "Configure backup":

Please note that here copying to a flash drive is not available at all. You can only select external or internal hard drive:

But the user is given a choice. It is possible to archive not only the system partition, but also absolutely any user data. By the way, about the last one. note to the one highlighted in the picture Below is a fragment.

It says that the program will back up only those files that are stored in the user's libraries (Pictures, Music, Videos folders, etc.), desktop and standard system directories:

Therefore, by clicking “Give me a choice,” you should specify either the entire C drive, so to speak, with all the available stuff, or only the necessary directories:

I hope you can see the difference now? But keep one more thing in mind. If yours is divided into only two sections, for example, like mine is now, then you won’t be able to copy the second one in this way, since it will be selected as the save location.

Go ahead. At the next step, another nice option awaits us. You can configure the creation of images on a schedule. Agree, this is very convenient. Therefore, all that remains is to click on the “Save parameters and start archiving” button:

That's it, friends, now you know everything about creating a Windows 10 system image on a flash drive using standard tools. Do you think this function is conveniently implemented in the top ten?

Share your opinion in the comments and also ask questions if you have any. And finally, as always, I suggest you watch another interesting video.

A backup is exactly the same system as yours. It includes exactly the same drivers, settings and all other elements of a functioning system. A backup copy differs from recovery points in that recovery points contain only information about changes in the system, while a backup copy is the entire system.

First of all, you will need a copy to quick recovery, if any problems arise with the system. Restoring a system from a copy is much easier and faster than reinstalling Windows and all the software that is required. In addition, after reinstalling the system, absolutely all personalization parameters will be lost. Therefore, it would be very smart and thoughtful to keep any means of storing information with an image in case of any unforeseen problems. This is especially true for those who especially value files and applications on their personal computer.

Let's look at the best ways to create a copy for two operating systems - Windows 7 and 10

Windows 10 has a handy tool called Backup and Restore. To use this tool you need:


Important! It is not at all necessary to save the system image only on the computer itself, because if it breaks, then you will not be able to fix anything, therefore, the whole point of backup is lost. Use more secure data storage methods.

Installation from the created disk

There are two main situations when you need the disk we created earlier. In the first case, your working machine will be unstable or work incorrectly, but will still be operational. Another case is that you can’t even start the computer. The created disk will definitely help us fix the problem in both situations.

In the first case, adhere to the following algorithm of actions:

  1. Open the Start menu, select the Settings tab. It looks like a gear.

  2. Select the “Update and Security” section, and in it click on “Recovery”.

  3. We go to the “Special boot options” tab and click on the reboot button in this window.

  4. Next we get to where we need to install the old system. To begin, select the “Troubleshooting” item.

  5. Then “Advanced settings”, in the window that opens, click on.

  6. This program will independently search for the image and, if it finds it, will begin to return the system to its state. If this does not happen, you will have to indicate yourself where the copy of your Windows is located.

  7. The next step is to confirm the recovery procedure and it will begin.

Guide to recovering a system image from disk


A copy of the "seven"

Owners of a computer with not the most latest version the system also needs to take care of its data and store it in some reliable storage.

  1. The window will display a message indicating that data archiving is not configured. We have to configure it. Click “Set up backup” and the computer begins searching for suitable recording media.

  2. Select the drive on which the backup will be stored.

  3. Next, the system will want to know what to archive. You can trust her automatic selection files, or do it manually. Windows itself will back up the entire disk if there is enough space on the media.

Interesting! It is most convenient and reliable to save to an external HDD. Not everyone has flash drives of the required capacity, and ordinary disks are extremely unstable to scratches and mechanical damage.

Backup using special programs

For backup, you can also use the old and reliable program - Acronis True Image. Its main advantages are a simple and intuitive interface and compatibility. The application provides a huge selection of settings for faster, more convenient and comfortable reservations. This is an excellent alternative to standard products.

Let's figure out how to use the program.

  1. Let's download it. It is free only for the first 30 days of use, so we will activate the trial period.

  2. Now we need what the program will reserve for us. That is, those disks and partitions that are needed to restore the system. By clicking on the computer icon, you can change the copy source, which the utility automatically selected “Whole computer”. At your discretion, you can add to backup copy just what you might need.

  3. Select a save location.

  4. Click on “Create a copy” and wait.

Livecd aomei backupper

For backup, you can also use a reliable program developed for this purpose - AOMEI Backupper. This program is the main competitor of the famous Acronis True Image, it is not inferior in functionality, but is free.

Its main advantages are a simple and intuitive interface and compatibility with all known operating systems. You can create boot disk or a flash drive with the program, if you suddenly need to urgently restore the system without access to a working computer.

Let's figure out how to work with the program.

  1. Let's download it. The program is completely free.

  2. Installing the program is simple, you just need to click “Next” several times. No unnecessary programs will be installed with AOMEI Backupper Standard. Initially it works in English, it is possible to Russify it, but we do not have to do this. You need to download the crack separately.

  3. Open the program and click “Create a new copy.” The only button you will see in front of you.

  4. Click on “System Backup”. You can also make copies of files by partition.

  5. Select a pre-inserted external hard drive, or a partition on your drive.

  6. Click “Launch”. In a few minutes, a copy will be created.

Recovery via AOMEI


Backup using dism

Backup can be done via command line. For this:


Important! Please note that "D:" is where the copy is stored. example.wim is its name. The main thing is not to change the extension. “C:” is the location from which files will be copied.

If you choose one of these methods and create a system backup in the near future, then you and your files will be reliably protected from unplanned problems with the operating system.

This article will describe ways on how to create an ISO from files and folders. For this purpose, free programs will be used that can be easily found in the search.

Create an ISO file that is basically files software Windows is a very simple procedure. It is enough to have the program and the files themselves.

Creating an image on Windows 10/8/7/xp

Eat convenient program"Ashampoo Burning Studio Free". With its help you can record images and create images from files. This software works on all modern Windows operating systems.

Ashampoo Burning has a convenient and simple user interface in Russian.

If you click on the “Disk Image” item, three items appear:

  • Burn the image (you can burn an existing iso file).
  • Create an image (you can remove and create an image from an existing disk).
  • Create an image from files (the files of the future ISO are selected and created).

We need to select the third item. The following window will appear.

Select ISO format. Next comes directly adding folders and files for the future ISO file.

You can select the path to save and you can clearly see how much folders and files weigh. Everything is simple and this is not all the functions of this software.

You can download from the official website: https://www.ashampoo.com/ru/rub/fdl

Another good program is CDBurnerXP

It can run on Windows 2000/XP/2003 Server/Vista/2008/Win7/Win8/Win10 (x86/x64).

Has Russian language and user-friendly interface, and is also supported by the old Windows XP OS.

A few steps to create an image.



This way, the project will be saved and an ICO file will be created.

You can download from the official website: https://cdburnerxp.se/ru/download

I’ll say right away that install programs carefully, because you can install various unnecessary toolbars and others along with the program... To do this, you need to select items like “Advanced options”, “More download options” during installation or download. These actions apply to everyone free programs. Same Adobe Flash player, when updating or downloading there is a check mark on the installation google chrome, that's why it's updated so often. Of course, you can install additional toolbars, browsers and other elements, this is your right, but how many times have I not installed, practical application I didn’t find anything in them, they just clog up the computer.

How to create an ISO image using UltraISO

It’s also good software, it’s the most popular for working with images. The steps are as follows:

  1. After launch, select below necessary files and by right-clicking you can select “Add”.
  2. After selecting "File" menu, click "Save"

You can easily find it in the search; unfortunately, I did not find the official website.

That's all, I think these programs are enough for ISO creation image.

To restore the operating system after problems with any parameters, you should seek help from a system image on a flash drive or disk, having first created it.

Using an OS image, you can reinstall everything from scratch. It is also possible to correct errors when starting the operating system or clean your PC of unnecessary and unnecessary programs. Main reasons to use:

  • OS reinstallation;
  • restoring the OS in case of problems.

You can create an image if you use programs such as:

  • archiving wizard;
  • installer;
  • third-party: Nero Express, etc.

We are working on creating a Windows 10 image

We prepare the necessary tools for this process. You may need things like:

  • SSD disk (external);
  • USB drives;
  • DVDs.

Creating an image using the Archive Wizard

Step-by-step instruction:


There are some options for the location of the Windows image:

  • hard disks. There are 3 options for storing your image: 1) SSD drive (external); 2) internal additional hard drive; 3) one of the disk partitions that you are archiving. The most reliable is the first option. If the archive is stored internally on a disk, then if the hard drive fails, the archive will be lost;
  • This option is not reliable, but still many prefer to choose it;
  • network folder. If you consider yourself an experienced PC user, then you can safely choose this option. To do this, you need a network connection and you must know the parameters for accessing the resource.

Windows image storage location

You can see the location of your archive files, as well as find out the space it occupies.

A visual view of storing an image of your system:

An example of the location of the image can be seen in the screenshot.

To find out the size of the archive, right-click on the folder and go to “Properties”.

Using the installation program

To download the image, you can go to the official website or any other Internet resources.


We use third-party snails

remember, that this entry to optical DVDs is gradually losing its relevance. After all, netbooks, ultrabooks and tablets do not have a disk drive. We recommend sticking to recording on an SSD drive or flash card.

Pre-install the necessary program and then proceed to recording the operating system image.

Daemon Tools

This product is the most popular on the software market. We create a system image on disk by performing the following steps:


Making a USB drive as a system image.


We check the functionality of the bootable flash drive.

Alcohol 120%

This program has been in effect for many years, there is a huge disadvantage here - it only works with disks (optical media), so make a flash drive bootable media you won't succeed.

We begin the process by performing the following steps:


Upon completion, we check the functionality of the disk.

Note! Also, the Alcohol 52% program has the right to exist, but its functions are even more limited; it can only record an image on virtual disk. Starting the system properly with these actions does nothing.

Modern analogues will provide you with a more necessary service.

NERO

With this program, you will again be able to record only to external DVDs, but not to a flash drive.


The average process time is 30-40 minutes, it can reach an hour (depending on the selected speed). Upon completion, we check the functionality.

Nero Express


We wait for the end of the installation process and check the functionality of the disk.

Note! Unfortunately, Nero doesn't have a version that can work with flash drives, so this program is not as effective.

ULTRAISO

This old tool is the most powerful for the job. With its help, you can store a disk image on flash drives and on various disks.

Making bootable media from a flash drive


We are waiting for completion, checking for functionality.

The boot disk is created in the same way.

  1. Select the desired file.
  2. In point top menu“Tools” select “Burn image to DVDCD”.
  3. Let's start "Recording". We are waiting for the program to finish.

Other applications that may be useful

  • Universal_USB_Installer;
  • Win_Setup_FromUSB;
  • BOOTLER;
  • RUFUS;
  • XBOOT;
  • SARDU;
  • Win2_USB Free, etc.

Possible problems

If you follow everything according to the instructions, there should be no problems. However, consider possible options:

: if the process hangs from the very beginning, then you need to check the Internet connection and the antivirus blocking; perhaps it is blocking the service. Also check the storage capacity (there may not be enough space);
  • the process hangs in certain moment : In this case, there is a high probability that you have a problem with the hard drive. In this situation, you can make several attempts to correct this situation.

    • disk or flash drive does not work: replace the image and rewrite installation disk again;
    • Lost connection to the drive: Let's try to clean the disk and start the installation again. There are situations when the only solution is to replace the disk.

    In fact, burning a system image to disk is not such a difficult task, so problems are encountered very rarely.

    Restoring Windows 10 from a backup

    To restore the system you need to open the recovery menu.

    When there are problems, but the system can still boot:
