Bootloop on Windows 10 - Recovered data....What next

[SpaceSecurity]

I subscribed to the Windows insider and was surprised when my pc was stuck in a bootloop. I scoured the net and nothing helped and eventually used a windows 10 bootdisk. Because of the windows partitions, i didnt loose too much data.

I managed to recover my emails, I did loose a few estimates and invoices on Quickbooks. My laptop has a SSD, i assumed its a more stable drive.

I do use a limited amount of cloud storage. How do you guys protect/backup your data? I was considering a desktop purely for work.... or a network storage drive. Any suggestions?

I dont want to be in that situation again

thanks

I don't use Windows 10, protecting my data.

So windows 10 is unstable?

So windows 10 is unstable?

no its perfectly fine. i keep a 500GB HDD, that i dock once a month to update my backup. HDD is stored away from my pc so if the pc gets stolen or such i still have important files like family photos etc.

Hardly..

Its probably the most stable and performant version of Windows ever released.

Return to basics and apply the rule of 3-2-1 ..

3 copies of your data, on 2 different types of media, 1 stored off site.

I cheat a bit. I use a Raided NAS for local backups, and important data files also go to cloud.

In general my aim is always to be in a position where I can wipe my primary workstation, and be up and running in a few hours with minimal to no data loss.

This makes alot of sense, Never heard of the 321 Rule. Thank you Bin

Thank you Zuner, I think a NAS Drive will be easier and suite me well

I backup to my NAS - then when I remember i make a copy of that and store the copy off site. In a safe.

Why are you surprised?

Why do people think its cool to sub to insider and beta versions of important systems, they KNOW it could cause issues.
