Windows 10: Create backup (Windows 10)?

For some time now, my PC (Windows10) has had enormous problems with booting and loading various programs. It can take 2 hours or more until Windows starts. So I made some virus scans and checked my hard disk (western digital) (HDD) with different tools. With all tools either the scan was aborted, or errors were displayed. With the command /sfc scannow I was also shown damaged files that could not be repaired. Now I want to save a backup of the most important data on an external hard disk or SSD and completely reinstall Windows 10. But now I have the worry to load the damaged files on the external hard disk. Does anyone know how I can fiddle and delete the damaged files, or does anyone know of other solutions? PS: My desktop PC is already several years old... (5-7 years)

TIA

no, you can't go back..
I suggest creating a backup image of your os drive

 

Windows 10

its already there. there is a hard set factory image from samsung. problem is it takes a long time to get that backup into the drive again and destroys the C drive data.

so looks like i wont be trying windows 10 anytime soon *Stick Out Tongue

 

installing windows 10 backup and restore later

1. Backup Vista
2. Upgrade Vista->Windows 7 -> Windows 10. Get activated.
3. Backup Windows 10.
4. Clean Install Windows 10. Make sure still activated
5. Backup a fresh copy of Windows 10
6. Restore

To perform step 4 i will need to have downloaded an iso and create a dvd or usb to boot from.....so will not this ISO be ok and the one you mention ?
