Ok. Perfect. Thanks

The only problem I see with this system image backup thing (even with the added benefit of macrium reflect doing it automatically and periodically for you), is that if you travel, you need to always be carrying with you, your USB 2TB drive and have it constantly connected to your laptop for...

Ok. Thanks. I heard some bloat in some laptops were actually useful, like control panels for rgb or driver updates, but in most cases I heard it's best to just get rid of everything.

and I freshly re-install windows on it through the windows media creation tool, will it get rid of the manufacturer's bloatware that would have come with the laptop otherwise?

Perfect. Couple more stupid questions if I may. Do I mount the system image on the OS drive (C:) or another drive (like D:)? Does it matter? Will it only restore personal files or will it also recover my windows settings and registry changes as well?

Thanks. So just to be clear, unless the laptops are identical (hardware specs I imagine you mean), and that the OS is one that I got myself and not one that came with the new laptop, I will run into issues trying to recover the drive, correct? And therefore, if the goal is to purchase a new...

So, just to be clear. My laptop gets stolen I purchase a new laptop I install Macrium Reflect I connect to my NAS And that's it?

NAS I understand but what do you mean by "or just a USB drive or two"? How can you get back a whole laptop's worth of data with a usb drive?

So, not cloud backup?

and someone steals it, what kind of backup do you guys recommend (preferably just one method so that I can remember it easily and how to do it), for me to be able to retrieve absolutely everything that I had on there, the same way as before, desktop items and all? Is there a more appropriate...

Problems like low FPS compared to others with same card, or problems in games in general like buggy stuff or crashes. Heard it somewhere. Can't remember. Prob YouTube guide.

Is disabling ultra-low power state really a thing for AMD GPU users? I heard it fixes a lot of problems some users have and don't know how to fix. Anyone here has done it?

Ok. And how do manufacturer's achieve that? They program it into the BIOS directly?

and you turn it on, is it turning on as if it had just booted from a USB device containing the windows media installation tool? Meaning, is it really brand-new? Since most come with bloatware, I don't really know. Wouldn't it be better to format them, to be sure they come as clean as possible...

Thanks. Didn't know you were active on both forums. Are you also on https://forums.pcgamer.com/?
