    Backing up programs to a cd


    Good evening to all.
    Been wondering about backing up all of the small programs that I have downloaded CCleaner for example.
    Would it be possible to save all those that are in my download folder to a cd/dvd disc, Is that a possibility Please.
    Many Thanks. David.

    :)

    Back up CD

    Will users who take advantage of the upgrade offer for Windows 10 from Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 also be able to obtain recovery media?

    Microsoft recently noted the following options available:

    With Windows 10, you can create your own recovery media and back up the pristine state of the operating system and preinstalled software. If things go wrong and you are unable to refresh or reset your device successfully, you
    can boot the device using recovery media and reset to the prior pristine state.

    You can also initiate a clean install by doing the following:

    You can do a clean install a couple ways.

    Press Windows key + i

    Click Update and Security

    Click Recovery

    Under Remove everything and reinstall Windows, click Get started

    or

    At the Sign in screen

    Hold down the shift key on your keyboard while clicking the Power icon on the screen

    Continue to hold down the shift key while clicking Restart

    Continue to hold down the shift key until the Advanced Recovery Options menu appears

    Click Troubleshoot

    Click Reset

    Back up CD

    When I receive win 10 up date can I make a back up CD for future reference. If not how can I re-install.

    Backing up programs to a cd

    Yes it is, don't forget though that some get frequently updated though so things like Ccleaner will be out of date in a month or so.
    Personally I back them up to a drive on a PC just used for backups.

    Thank You
    What would be the best way? Drag and Drop from download folder to the cd/dvd dive with disc in of course?
    Thanks.

    What ever is easiest, I'd just drag the whole folder or right click send to DVD RW drive.
