Windows 10可能是微软自Windows 7以来发布的最稳定和可用的操作系统(OS Microsoft)。但是，这并不意味着您在某些时候不会遇到严重的问题。我总是确保每隔几个月为我的Windows 10 PC 创建一个完整的系统映像。(Windows 10)
当您创建系统映像时，您可以将整个操作系统恢复到同一个硬盘驱动器或新的驱动器，它将包括您所有已安装的程序、设置等。即使Windows 10比Windows 7有了很好的改进，它仍然使用与Windows 7相同的图像创建选项！Windows 10有一个名为重置(Reset)此 PC 的新功能，但它不像系统映像备份那样通用。
您可以选择保留您的个人文件或删除所有内容，但在这两种情况下，您都会丢失所有程序和应用程序。此外，这是假设当前硬盘驱动器仍然正常工作。如果驱动器完全发生故障，您将无法访问重置(Reset)此 PC 功能，因此您很不走运。
拥有它始终是一个不错的选择，但您应该拥有一个完整的系统映像，无论Windows或硬盘驱动器的状态如何，您都可以恢复该映像。
创建 Windows 10 系统映像
很多人喜欢使用第三方软件来完成这项工作，这是完全可以理解的。实际上，我已经写了一篇关于五个(five free disk imaging utilities)做得很好的免费磁盘映像实用程序的文章。这些第三方程序往往比内置的Windows工具有更多的选择。
我个人使用不同的工具创建了多个系统映像，因为我发现在尝试恢复备份时有时会由于各种原因出现问题。现在开始创建系统映像！首先(First)，在Windows 10中打开控制面板(Control Panel)。到目前为止，如果您在“设置”(Settings)应用程序中进行备份，它只会链接到“控制面板(Control Panel)”选项。
单击备份和还原 (Windows 7)(Backup and Restore (Windows 7))。确保将视图更改为小图标或大图标(Small or Large icons)以查看项目列表。
现在有两种方法可以在这里创建备份。您可以单击左侧的创建系统映像(Create a system image)链接并对整个系统进行一次性备份，也可以单击最右侧的设置备份(Set up backup)（未显示在图像中），这将创建系统映像并在您的计算机上执行重要文件的计划备份。
我建议使用设置备份(Set up backup)选项，因为这将允许您在意外删除的情况下恢复单个文件。但是，仅当备份位置位于计算机上的单独磁盘上时，才应执行此操作。备份到同一硬盘上的不同分区是没有意义的。我只做系统映像，因为无论如何我的所有文件都存储在云中，所以这取决于您的情况。
如果单击Create a system image，系统会询问您要将备份图像保存在哪里。共有三个选项：在硬盘上、在一张或多张 DVD(DVDs)上或在网络位置上。就我而言，我选择了另一个安装在我的系统上的磁盘。
接下来，您必须选择要备份的驱动器。默认情况下，Windows会选择系统分区、恢复分区和EFI系统分区。如果您愿意，可以添加任何其他驱动器。
在底部，它将告诉您备份需要多少空间以及目标磁盘上有多少可用空间。最后，您将看到一个摘要，并可以通过单击开始备份来开始备份(Start Backup)。
备份过程将需要一些时间，具体取决于需要备份多少数据以及目标磁盘的速度。
备份完成后，系统会询问您是否要创建系统修复光盘。我强烈建议您立即执行此操作，因为您需要它以在出现问题时恢复 PC。
您可以稍后再创建它，但这是有风险的。创建备份后，您将不会在备份和恢复对话框中看到任何有关它的指示，因为它只是一个系统映像。但是，如果您转到备份位置，您将看到一个名为WindowsImageBackup的文件夹。
请注意，您无法访问此文件夹的内容，甚至无法检查大小等。它归系统所有，任何用户都无法读取或访问，即使是管理员(Administrator)。现在您已经对系统进行了一个备份，为了安全起见，请确保使用不同的工具创建另一个备份。享受！
Create a Windows 10 System Image Backup
Windows 10 is probably the most stable and usable OS Microsоft has released since Windows 7. However, that doesn’t mean you wоn’t run into serious іsѕues at some point. І always makе sure I create a full system image of my Windows 10 PC every several months.
When you create a system image, you can restore the entire OS back to the same hard drive or a new one and it will include all your installed programs, settings, etc. Even though Windows 10 is a nice improvement over Windows 7, it still uses the same image creation option from Windows 7! Windows 10 has a new feature called Reset this PC, but it’s not as versatile as a system image backup.
You can choose to either keep your personal files or remove everything, but in both cases, you lose all your programs and apps. In addition, this is assuming the current hard drive is still working properly. If the drive fails completely, you’re out of luck because you won’t be able to access the Reset this PC feature.
It’s always a nice option to have, but you should have a full system image that you can restore regardless of the state of Windows or your hard drive.
Create Windows 10 System Image
A lot of people like to use third-party software for this endeavor and it’s completely understandable. I’ve actually written an article on five free disk imaging utilities that do a great job. These third-party programs tend to have more options than the built-in Windows tool.
I personally create multiple system images using different tools because I have found that sometimes problems can arise for various reasons when trying to restore a backup. Now on to creating the system image! First, open up Control Panel in Windows 10. As of now, if you go to backup in the Settings app, it just links to the Control Panel option.
Click on Backup and Restore (Windows 7). Make sure to change the view to Small or Large icons in order to see the list of items.
Now there are two ways you can go about creating a backup here. You can either click on the Create a system image link on the left and do a one-time backup of the entire system or you can click on Set up backup at the far right (not shown in image), which will create a system image and perform a scheduled backup of important files on your computer.
I suggest using the Set up backup option as that will allow you to restore individual files in case of accidental deletion. However, you should only do it if the backup location is on a separate disk on your computer. There is no point in backing up to a different partition on the same hard disk. I only do a system image because all of my files are stored in the cloud anyway, so it depends on your situation.
If you click on Create a system image, you’ll be asked where you want to save the backup image. There are three options: on a hard disk, on one or more DVDs or on a network location. In my case, I chose another disk that is installed on my system.
Next, you’ll have to select which drives you want to backup. By default, Windows will select the system partition, recovery partition and EFI system partition. You can add any additional drives if you like.
At the bottom it will tell you how much space is required for the backups and how much space is available on the target disk. Finally, you’ll see a summary and can start the backup by clicking Start Backup.
The backup process will take some time depending on how much data needs to be backed up and how fast your target disk is.
Once the backup is complete, you will be asked if you want to create a system repair disc. I highly recommend that you do this immediately as you’ll need it in order to restore the PC in case something goes wrong.
You can always create it later, but it’s taking a risk. Once you have created the backup, you won’t see any indication of it in the backup and restore dialog because it’s just a system image. However, if you go to the backup location, you will see a folder called WindowsImageBackup.
Note that you cannot access the contents of this folder or even check the size, etc. It’s owned by the system and cannot be read or accessed by any user, even the Administrator. Now that you have one backup of your system, make sure to create another using a different tool just to be safe. Enjoy!
