Windows provides a built-in Backup and Restore(Windows 7) feature, which allows you to create a ghost image of a Windows 10 computer:

  • Follow the path to locate Backup and Restore:

        Settings - Update & Security - Backup - Backup and Restore.

  • Click "Create a system image" from the left panel.
  • Choose a location where you want to save the image backup. (It is best to save the ghost image to an external hard drive to ensure security.)
  • Select the partition where your operating system exists, and click "Start backup." Wait for the process to finish, then click "Close."
