    Windows 10 Disaster Recovery


    Let's say I have a Windows 10 computer, and I have a recent System Image backup plus some File History backups offsite. Sounds good.
    I have a lot of "App" games that use only local storage for game save data.
    Then there is a fire, and my computer is destroyed.
    I buy an new computer, but it has different hardware, and, thus, different drivers than my original computer.
    How do I use my offsite backups I have to recover my state of being that includes my "App" game save data?
    If I restore all my stuff to the new computer from my backups, then I will overwrite all the correct drivers and license data.
    If I use only the File History backups, I will loose all my game save data.
    How do I backup App save data in a way it can be restored to a new computer????


    Thanks in advance,

    Dan

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Download Windows 10 TH/RS

    For the convenience of not having to use the installation media for startup repairs. But you should be able to use your installation media to do whatever the recovery partition does(including startup repairs). AFAIK. I could be wrong about that though.
    I'm not sure if I follow you there. But if you clean install Windows 10 there will be at least 3 partitions.
    • (EFI System Partition)
    • (Primary Partition)
    • (Recovery/OEM Partition)
    If you install from an OEM installation media there might(should?) be 4 partitions. Since there might(should?) be a Recovery partition and an OEM partition.
