Windows 10: just bought a 4Tb Extl and have questions about backups with toolkit

I have jut bought a 4Tb External Seagate on which I have backep up all my Data, leaving my hard drive empty of Photos, videos, music etc.

All of this Data is backed up to Onedrive and iCloud.

Toolkit keeps making backups onto my Hard drive.

Now, as I have all my Data on Clouds, I don't want or need a physical backup of my seagate.

So, can I uninstall Toolkit without affecting the way that the Seagate system handles itself ?

Once I have (hopefully) disabled Toolkit, can I do a delete on any seagate or toolkit files on my c: drive ?

Thanx

:)

 

Windows Backup can't find my seagate 4TB drive

So I bought a Seagate external hdd drive 4TB a while ago and want to use it as a backup but my windows can't find it in the backup finder. I can find it in windows explorer though and I can drag files into it. It's just that it is not there when I want
to make a backup and I want to backup my 2TB internal drive B: to that 4TB drive D: . The backup finder only finds my 2TB internal drive which is the one with all the files on it that need to be backed up.

 

New 4TB drive install..


Ok Len, Take it step by step - ask any questions

All of the steps are in your thread,

Here's a simple outline

1) Clean install Windows 10
The instructions to wipe the drive are in post# 79
Then just continue the install

2) Creating a bootable miniTool PW disc instructions can be found in post# 73

3) Resizing the C: partition instructions can be found in TopGun's post# 58

Good luck - post your progress or questions.
