Is there a way to use the old hard drive as a mirror of what is happening on the SSD?fit an SSD and you'll get an instant massive performance boost
You could use the same software that you create the SSD copy of the HDD, to make an HDD copy of the SSD 'every now and again' if you wanted. I bought the SanDisk SSD conversion kit, because it comes with a 2.5 to 3.5 adaptor (which I needed), a USB to SATA lead/converter, and the required software to clone the drive.Is there a way to use the old hard drive as a mirror of what is happening on the SSD?
My back up is not good. It only backs up data and not programs. So a crash will trash windows and programs leaving me with a not working machine but if I had a exact copy on the old hard drive, a SSD crash would be OK.
I have several old computers with pieces of Windows missing. Computers do not come with Windows CDs now. One computer has "reinstall" on D: but I can't get to it.However, the point of backups is to save your irreplaceable data, not the programs which you can simply reinstall.

I have booted from a Ubuntu CDROM but the new versions will not fit on a single CD. It is hard when you are missing a sys file and have to spend hours retrieving it. Then it is uncomeatable because Windows updated and the back up did not.

What about just try clean install of w10? Maybe it has asigned license to motherboard. If not you can use w10 unactivated. There will be just watermark and some visual limitation, that no one cares about it.You make recovery disks when you first get the computer, often you are even prompted to do so - over and over again, until you do.

The sole recommendation I've read up to now, making some sense to me, was to identify the software that needs to do repetitive (frequent) writing of big chunks of data. Eventually you could set the specific directories to allocate them in the secondary disk (most probably a HHD unit as is the case in my both PCs).1) What are the tips for conserving an SSD? is it possible to preserve the writing cycle? today i still use 5400rpm laptop HDD on my desktop
