The new Windows OS takes cues from its smartphone relatives, simplifying basic settings changes and making them easy to access. Smartphone aesthetics and accessibility options You can still grab windows and pull them to the edge of your screen to do some basic window management, but if youвЂ™re working from home or using more than one monitor, the easy window organizing can keep your desktop uncluttered and your eyes on the task at hand. Hover your mouse over the window maximize button on the app of your choice to see the layout options, ranging from a side-by-side layout to a four-app grid. The improved Snap Layout and Snap Group features let you easily manage and resize windows on your monitor, as well as keep apps you need to use simultaneously grouped together. вЂ¦ andвЂ¦ we live in an area with ~ 900 residents in four square miles, and my ISPвЂ™s current upload speeds never exceed 10 Mbps, and usually average 7, like yours.ДЈ.) a cloud subscription to IDrive for both my computer and my womanвЂ™s iMac (also backed-up locally via Time Machine using an external USB, 500 GB SSD) and both machines send daily changes to IDriveвЂ™s cloudД¤.) all my biz data from my machine are sent to GoogleвЂ™s Backup and Sync, on the fly as changes are made to themДҐ.)

EaseUS software is not one IвЂ™d recommend because itвЂ™s waaaay too fiddly and doesnвЂ™t need to be. Including the Windows OS, the system drive carries ~ 618 GB of dataДў.) EaseUS Todo Backup Home writing daily backups to an external USB 3.x, 8 TB spinning Seagate drive. I swapped the computerвЂ™s original 500 GB SSD system drive (which I moved to my womanвЂ™s iMac) for a 2 TB Western Digital SSD. I assembled and evolved mine over time to withstand single points of failure.ДЎ.) Windows File History written to the 3TB spinning storage disc which came with the desktop. My backup strategy is much simpler than yours Michael. I suppose that I penned some of this in hopes that the new boss lady, Susan Bradley, finds it. There are at least two other choices which come to mind. Otherwise, if they donвЂ™t work smoothly, I wonвЂ™t depend upon them, and soon find alternatives if I chose to. My attitude is instead that Microsoft has had many decades to improve the reliability of their OS, and to harden it for different conditions - the same timeline the 3rd party software publishers have had, and I instead expect those softwares to work smoothly. And most good geeks on these fora unnecessarily accept that they are expected to intervene when Microsoft blows something up. And among those tradeoffs were the time it takes to set up a system image, and the time the computer actually takes to make the system image and shut the computer down.Д®verything in the Microsoft microverse is unnecessarily fiddly. But in my case all the complete drive imaging software I found had more tradeoffs than I was willing to accept. I expect to turn the computer on and not have to fiddle with myriad settings, although IвЂ™m more than capable of doing so.Д«ut if IвЂ™d had a system drive imaging strategy IвЂ™d liked at the time the problem with my machine occurred, all I would have had to do is to restore the system drive image from the night before my Start Menu/Windows button breakage caused by MicrosoftвЂ™s patches to its patches. In revisiting recently whether or not I wanted to run nightly system disc images to replace one of my local backup strategies, I decided that was lots more work than I wanted. Separately but related, I run four, separate, concurrent backup strategies. Good thinkinвЂ™, you, on accountвЂ™a because MicrosoftвЂ™s patches for their patches could flummox somethinвЂ™ with a fresh re-install.
