Windows 10: How long would a backup and restore process take?

So I have had so many problems with my current laptop and i simply do not have the luxury of buying a new one. In fact im trying to save up for a PC. Now I want to do a factory reset, but I dont know how long will it take to back up the essentials, meaning not loose my media, and then reset it, followed by restoring what I need? To know what Ive dealt with, 1st and foremost, the current update wont finish, costing me over an hour of update, then undoing changes, before it comes back on. I've tried many things to fix it. Another is the computer runs slow than before, some things I cant even run

Free hard drive backup/restore program?

I am looking for a free (freeware) program that will back up and restore a hard drive. I'm looking to clone a few external hard drives. If the program will backup the used space instead of the whole drive this will be awesome! Thanks for any suggestions.

 

Don't have any function for backup

Hi Iris,

Let's work together on this. We suggest that you follow the following steps to apply the backup to your Windows Phone:

• Sign into the same Microsoft Account used for the backup creation.
• When prompted to use a backup to restore the handset, select the desired backup and hit ‘next’ to continue with the process.
• The backup will then download (duration will vary depending on speed of connection and size of backup), you can then enter passwords for restored accounts there and then or configure restored email and social accounts later.
  

Let us know the results.

Regards.

Obviously you're looking for something besides your Xp Pro utility that does this?
