My daughter bought a laptop from Curry's - big mistake.
At my urging she took a backup to an external disk using "Windows Backup" - ran for absolutely ages.
After Curry's wiped/replaced her 1TB disk in order to fix a broken screen connector [?],
It turns out that this so-called backup software didn't backup any data.
Is there any Windows software that can backup a disk to external media?
Why wasn't proper backup software included in W10?

It only backs up user data and not system data, so not sure what your daughter has run.
If it helped click the thumb
If it fixed it click 'This fixed my problem'

https://www.techradar.com/best/best-free-backup-software is worth a look. I have been using Paragon for years and it has never let me down. There are plenty of others: AOMEI is pretty good https://www.backup-utility.com/free-backup-software.html
