SSD’s are nice, fast, and if they get damaged internally by a chi going bad, they are unrecoverable.
Windoze 10 has nothing to do with any of that.
It is the nature of the SSD device. The spinning disks can be recovered unless the bearings seize.
Your user data should be stored/backed up to a NAS or removable media. Ditto your ISO’s of any software you have on CD/DVD disk.
You should also have a bootable USB stick for recovery of your PC and create a backup image of your system at first boot, and then another image generated at a later date that includes your installed software.
This too..
“Windoze 10 has nothing to do with any of that.”
But, I still stand by my dual boot option.. (remember, he said he has no CD/DVD drive).
Good advice, Ouderkirk. Thank you.
