How to do a System Backup in Windows8

+1 vote
402 views

Trying to do a simple backup of the operating system, as the new PCs don't come with install or recovery disks. Cannot figure out how! tried burning to DVD, but every other disk showed errors, and it was going to take something like 8 or 9 DVDs.

What do I have to do to back up the OS? I dont believe in simply backing up to a partitioned sector of the hard drive, as a disk crash makes that useless.

Latest update on Windows 8.1?

I have the most up to date installment pack for Windows 8.1, How ever, every since I've had this, I can't install any more applications/programs. Not a single one.

Every thing else works fine. I keep getting "can't create temp folder" error every time I try to install new programs. I've deleted the temp folder and tried "install ad admin" and those things but nothing works.

Please help.
