Just wondering if someone could help me out here. With a standard computer I just copy and paste folders from docs, pictures, videos etc, to an external hard drive - ready to reinstall if doing a clean install at some point. Certain things (like iphone backups) need a program file saving. But the teenager has a gaming pc - I know nothing about this! No idea what is saved where. I am guessing that just copying the folders in documents for all the games isn't enough and there will be some program files need backing up as well.
So while having a system image (and trying to do another one at the moment which is discussed on another thread) - that is no good for a clean install. And might need to do one at some point.
