Does anyone else arrange their data in a way that protects against the inevitability of a windows install failing??
Does anyone else arrange their data in a way that protects against the inevitability of a windows install failing??
I f*cking hate windows(love/ hate abusive relationship for sure). All my installs fail or get corrupted. No matter how careful i am.
I keep nothing on the C: drive. All my data on separate drives. I backup my windows drive monthly in fear that my PC might decide to brick itself after a bad update or faulty shutdown.
As I type this,,,my desktop no longer booting and its been "attempting to repair windows" for 3hrs now. Good thing i made a backup on a separate drive 2 months ago, lol.
Anyone else here instinctively take measures to hedge against windows unreliability??
You're viewing a single thread.
I mean I've literally never had windows fail for something that wasn't ultimately my fault but still to keep safe I just keep my main OS and games on my M2 SSD and everything else goes on regular SATA SSDs or HDDs in my system that way if somehow windows does get completely fucked to the point where I can't fix it I can just wipe that SSD and reinstall Windows and its games without worrying about my data on the rest of the drives being affected
And of course all my important files are backed up to my NAS and/or Dropbox
I feel like the way OP described the instability an and frequent fail of Windows is a bit too much to be a Windows only issue. I don't think any OS in this modern age would survive if they crash all the time.
