explorer then right click the desktop below this pc then select properties navigate to the location tab click move and then change the directory to the storage partition yes no more desktop for you oh actually the desktop is still there but it's in a different place so you don't get to keep it where you thought you did that's the main one but you're going to want to repeat this process for documents downloads music pictures and videos as well and when you perform the system restore we'll be getting to in just a bit there are going to be a lot of lost files that trip to niagara falls gone you'll be written out of the will just like that last time anyway now for acronis we've used them before when we initially tried Windows 11 and the time we intentionally downloaded some ransomware we're obviously still using Windows today but their software works for macOS and mobile devices as well grab the latest version of cyber protect home office and install it after creating your account follow the prompts and away we go once it's up and running the first thing you're going to want to do is head to backup we're going to create an online backup to the acronis cloud by just clicking this button here we don't have much on this fresh install so it won't take very long but if you have a slower connection or a lot of files to process this is a great time to stretch your legs or check out the new party shirts at lttstore.com they're real comfy another nice feature is that while we create this backup acronis might also find hidden infections not for us today since this is a clean install but something to think about if you've been considering making backups recently at this point we have our backup we could stop here and simply revert the machine whenever we see fit through the recovery tab but let's take things a couple steps further we're going to use a cronus to create another backup you should always have more than one backup of course but then for those of you short on cache we're also going to use Windows built-in features to create a restore point basically like hitting save on your operating system although it's only for the operating system this will not restore your files or folders should be very very clearly stated head to tools and then select rescue media builder what we're doing is we're going to create a Windows image file that we'll save a copy of on our usb flash drive there are two types of media by the way Linux and win pe and it's worth checking that your disks are visible under boot media although you might need to add storage controller drivers or alter the storage controller operation mode in the BIOS to see them now for the part that so many people forget to do we have to actually enable the restore point we just made in Windows head to system properties and then click the system protection tab select your c drive click configure check the turn on system protection box and select the data limit for the max amount of usage that your restore points will use that will ensure that new restore points don't take over your entire c drive over time we're going to do the same thing for our storage partition just in case Windows decides to stretch its legs a little bit this is going to be our first line of defense so feel free to label it as such or just use today's date all of the above shouldn't fail you but if you've worked with tech you'll know how often failsafes will fail should is basically the only thing you can count on let's say someone digs around in the BIOS when they shouldn't maybe they're trying to overclock or adjust fan curves and they set parameters that basically stop the system from booting the Windows altogether the quick and dirty way to fix just about any of these problems at this point is to remove the cmos battery from your motherboard which will do a factory reset on the BIOS settings put it back in after about a minute or two to make sure that the sram is well and truly cleared and then start your pc and perform your recovery through that boot media we made earlier hopefully it never comes to this point but at least if it does you won't have to spend your entire holiday looking for the problem just blast the whole c drive and get back to digesting and big thanks again to acronis for sponsoring this video their cyber protect home office software is a great option when it comes to making sure that your data is backed up and tucked safely away in the cloud they've got disk cloning and full image backup options as well as microsoft 365 backups so
