Il est possible, à peu ou pas de frais, de faire une image miroir de votre installation de Windows. Contrairement au disque original de Windows ou au disque de récupération qui accompagnait votre ordinateur, l’image a pour avantage principal de faire une copie intégrale de l’ordinateur au moment précis qui vous convient. Ainsi, en cas de panne matérielle ou logicielle, vous pourrez récupérer votre ordinateur dans l’état précis où il était au moment de la création de cette image, vos imprimantes configurées, vos logiciels installés et paramétrés, vos comptes utilisateurs créés et tous les documents qu’ils contiennent. 3, record 2, French, - image%20miroir
