G'day folks.
This is about the Harddrive on my Win 10 PC and a simple question to come
later.
It's a niggle at the back of my mind and I'd like it assuaged.

In early 2018 my then five months old computer received a big Win 10
update.
Something was not right with the update and the computer became a monster,
I won't bore you with the details...

After doing a number of things as advised by company that supply my
computers, and those things not making any difference... The bottom line
was... I had to do a reinstall of Windows 10 and all that involves...

I can assure you Bob the Builder language was fully engaged. ;-)

When done I had my computer back as it was pre update. :-)

Move on to 2019, I now have an identical SSD in size and manufacturer to
the one in the computer, and on this identical SSD I regularly make a
clone of the computers Harddrive.

I use the 'EaseUS Todo Backup' Utilty to create the clone.

Finally we arrive at my niggle question:

Can I assume, if a Win 10 update goes wrong, I can take the messed up
drive out of the machine and replace it with the Clone drive made before
the update and off we'll go again?

Thanks
Dave

I believe that to be the case.

Based on my experience of Macrium Reflect, I suspect that
Stuart is correct.
