This is really intriguing, but am I reading the instructions correctly? Call me dumb, but I don't know how to reinstall Win10 Home; I don't have a recovery CD or anything like that. I'd also need to back up everything first... which would be a pain...

You can build a recovery disc/thumb drive from within Windows.

And if backing up is a pain, what do you do if your machine dies? You should already have a backup.

That's been looming over my head, yeah... So then, EasUS Todo Backup? Seems to tick more boxes than any other on: How to Make a Full System Image Backup in Windows
