Just as an additional side note:
Long ago I moved all my own data & info, of any kind whatsoever, including Email, to a USB connected remote hard drive. I also changed where it was my programs expect to get or put the data/info of mine, so that everything goes to the remote hard drive. The system can crash, and even get “unrecoverable”, and I can just plug my remote hard drive into a new PC. I do that all time when I travel, taking the remote hard drive with a laptop I use mostly when traveling.
Just a some thoughts for you.
Oh! I have a 2nd USB connected hard drive that is used to have a backup both an image of my remote hard drive, and the main hard drive on the PC. The backup of the main hard drive is done only as often as software is added or updated, and the data/info USB connected remote hard drive is backed up every nite I use the PC.
Thanks. Taking notes but I’m still a dummy.
