Hi. I’m new to Aomei Backup Software and a novice. I’ve heard so much about it, I thought I’d give it a try. Maybe someone could help me?
When I click to make a system backup which I understand backups your entire system: "files, folders, pictures, programs" etc. I see three listings: (*: SYSTEM, C:\Windows, *: Windows RE t). Should all three be included in the system backup, or should I just select C:\Windows?
Also, on making a bootable recovery CD, when I chose the option: Windows PE – Create bootable disc based on Windows PE, and click next,I see two options: Create the bootable disc based on UEFI boot mode(Recommended), & Create the bootable disc based on legacy boot mode. I see that “Create the bootable disc based on UEFI boot mode” (Recommended), is checked. My PC is an Asus with windows 8.1, and the BIOS is configured for Windows UEFI. Which one of the above should I chose? A few people had told me that if your system won’t boot and you have to use a bootable disc, you have to go into the BIOS and change certain settings: “Disable fast boot, Disable secure boot, change the system to run from Win UEFI to Legacy Mode, and changeyour boot order to (1) CD/DVD (2) Hard Drive.
If anyone could help me out, I’d truly appreciate. Thanks for your time.
