Is there a method to "backup" your factory Windows 10 install before partitioning it? I've done this before by accident, and I'd like to prevent it again. Is there a way to get a key or something for my Lenovo computer? Thank you very much.

Yes, there are several ways that you can use to back up your factory Windows 10 installation. Here are a few methods:

1. Create a Windows repair disc

The built-in Backup and Restore feature in Windows allows you to make a Windows system repair disc, which is the process of generating a bootable disc or USB drive that contains the tools and files needed to troubleshoot and fix issues with your Windows operating system. In the event that your system has problems that prevent it from booting normally, you can use this disc or USB device to access advanced recovery options.

2. Use System Image

The Backup and Restore function in Windows 10 also allows you to create a system image that includes the operating system, installed programs, settings, and personal information. This image can be saved to an external hard drive or a network location. If your computer crashes or is destroyed, you can restore it from the system backup.

3. Third-party backup software

Third-party backup software with additional functionality and flexibility for backing up your factory Windows 10 installation is available. EaseUS Todo Backup, which combines the functionality of creating a system image and producing a recovery disc, is one of the most popular. 

Among the three options listed above, EaseUS Todo Backup is the best and easiest to use. It is a powerful backup and recovery program that allows for the generation of system images and recovery disks. You won't have to worry about data loss with it since, in addition to the above two capabilities, it includes many additional functions such as scheduled backup, incremental backup, compress and encrypted backup, which will protect your computer in all aspects.
