Windows 10: Can I make an image of my Windows 10 installation?

Hello All,

I built a new PC in March 2020 & it's been working fine. I always take care of what I install, no unnecessary programs only what I absolutely need. I regularly clean my PC every week as well (blower etc).

However, last week when I updated my NVIDIA drivers to the latest ones (461.92), I started getting that dreaded Automatic Repair loop on startup. I tried to restore my PC but it didn't work so I just formatted C drive then reinstalled everything. I figured that since I had formatted the drive, I wouldn't have any issues using the same 461.92 NVIDIA drivers. A few days later when I turned on my PC, I started getting that same Automatic Repair loop ! I formatted again, then reinstalled but this time I used a previous version of the NVIDIA driver (the one which wasn't giving any issues).

So my question is: Is there anyway apart from creating a System Restore point that I can make an image of my Windows 10 installation so that if something should happen, I can just reinstall it & continue from there without having to format & then reinstall everything ?

Please help. Thank you.

Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
