Take free backup of Windows11, Windows 10 and restore....it is as easy as ABC.......!

What is an operating system? (OS)

An operating system (OS) is a main program installed on computer with the help of  the boot program. Examples of OS include Microsoft's Windows (Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, etc.), Apple's macOS, Linux, Unix etc. An installed OS works as a platform to all other software (such as MS office, Zoom, medial players etc.) which are installed in that OS.

Why to take backup of an operating system (e.g. Windows 10)?

An operating system actually acts as a soul to the hardware (computer) thus, once an operating system is damaged we are not able to work on that computer any more. To over the issue we need to install it along with all other necessary applications/software to bring the computer to working state which is time consuming and somewhat risky process. Especially if you have purchased your operating system (e.g. Windows 10) and have no backup to license key. 

Thus if we make backup windows-10, it will be precious in case our operating system becomes unstable (due to virus attack or any other reason).
