Should I back up only data or complete with programs

Thread needs solution

Good day,

I currently have a Dell laptop with Windows 7 and am buying another lapop with Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 and would like to transfer everthing over.

With Aronis, should I back up only the data or the whole system?

The new computer doesn't come with Word while my old one does... so I'm thinking I should back up the whole system and not just the files.

Hello Roger,

Thank you for your posting! If you would like to transfer the operationg system as well, you will need to create an image of the whole PC, otherwise just backup only volumes with the necessary data. Another way: you can create a backup of the whole system, restore it (the OS will be overwritten) and then upgrade it to the latest versions.  

Thank you,
