    Hope I didn't 'Brick' my PC!


    Hi there

    Always have a BOOTABLE LINUX system on a USB with a Windows VM on it so you can use all Windows recovery tools. It's easy to create any distro or Linux that boots from a USB stick, install VMware player and a Windows VM --perfect recovery tool. The Linuc system will have things like GPARTED for partition adjustments, re-sizing, recovery, MBR fixing / convert to GPT etc.

    Also take a system image via Macrium / acronis.

    Also for your windows installs create bootable ISO's (Use RUFUS) on USB sticks.

    The external Linux _ windows VM system runs very nicely on an external SSD --use a sata ->USB3 connevtor if you have USB3 ports or a standard sata--> usb2 connector, Even the USB2 connevtor will give your Linux and Windows VM good performance.

    Cheers
