Myself, for a brand new computer out of the box: I set up the OS, and make a copy of the 'System Info'. I make the recovery disk (and the repair disk, if applicable) that I put in an old, big DVD binder. USB sticks fit in the pockets of that binder with dated notes on folded/cut 8" x 5" index cards. I write the dated notes on the CDs/DVDs themselves. (I also have OS and apps installation media & softcopies, although I would most likely download them fresh, if available) I install and configure my apps according to notes that I made. I make dated notes for all of the above. So, early life is well documented (perhaps done in the euphoria of having something new, LOL)
But then, I slack off. I just caught myself that I did not make any notes of OS resets of any kind. Nor of any uninstall/reinstall of apps. True, most of that can be traced back on the computer, but that is not the same as keeping a neat (and reasonably complete) diary.
What about you?
