    I am replacing a WD "my Passport" disc that I used to store "system images" with a WD Elements disc. Can the WD Elements external disc be used to record "system images"?

    can a WD Elements external disc be used to record system images ?

    Using system Image external hard drive or system repair disc.

    Could some one give me step by step instructions on how to use either a system repair disc or a system image on a external hard drive. My computer has been acting up, losing files, documents, music and pictures, right clicking on start button will not produce context menu, and clicking on edge does not open it. I created a system image and a repair disc a month or so ago, but do not know how to use them to see if my problems could be fixed. Also, can't I just reinstall windows? How do I do that without a CD. None came with the computer; Thanks for any help.
