Just Thanks! Again.

Just wanting to thank you all, again.

Every time I screw something up, panic, and come here to beg for help, I use the "search" function and find answers enough to help me dig out of the hole I've fallen into.

So - I've asked for help very few times, but received tons of help many times. And I'm grateful for it!

I haven't booted Windows (intentionally) since the end of support for 8.1 - I believe the beginning of 2023. Been using the Live-USB with Persistence and am happy as a cat rolling in catnip.

Just sayin'...

You're welcome :) Glad the forum helps solving things!

Definitely make a regular snapshot of your system if you don't feel comfortable enough.

Thank you!

I make a snapshot every month or so. And backup Live-UsB Storage periodically.

Just happy with the OS and all the support... truly a wonderful group of people.

Re: Your backup:
Some experience gained in past days:

1. If your backup schedule includes the word 'about', as in 'about monthly', 'more or less weekly' procrastination will hit you at the most inconvenient time.
And it will happen.
2. If you backup, but have not tested your restore procedure to completion, there in an unfortunate accident waiting for you.
3. Try to have at least three generations of backup, on separate (not necessarily different) media. Keep one copy elsewhere. Always.
