¿Qué debo hacer una copia de seguridad antes de actualizar a Windows 10?

What should I backup before upgrading to Windows 10?

Back up your old PC – Before you upgrade to Windows 10, you need to back up all the information and applications on your original PC. Upgrading without first backing up all of your files and your system as a whole can lead to data loss.

Yes, upgrading from Windows 7 or a later version will preserve your personal files (documents, music, pictures, videos, downloads, favorites, contacts etc, applications (ie. Microsoft Office, Adobe applications etc), games and settings (ie. passwords, custom dictionary, application settings).

You can upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10 without losing your files and erasing everything on the hard drive using the in-place upgrade option. It is also recommended to uninstall any software (such as antivirus, security tool, and old third-party programs) that may prevent the successful upgrade to Windows 10.

Head to the Control Panel and select “Back up your computer” under the Systems and Security section. On the left choose to create a system image, pick the location you want to save it to (I chose my external storage drive), click Next, confirm that everything looks good, and then click Start backup.

Using File History

1. Open Settings.
2. Click on Update & Security.
3. Click on Backup.
4. Click the More options link.
5. Click the Restore files from a current backup link.
6. Select the files you want to restore.
7. Click the Restore button.

Will My Files Be Deleted When I Upgrade to Windows 11 The answer is No. As long as you select “Keep personal files and apps” during Windows Setup, you shouldn’t lose anything. If you didn’t select the option, you may be at the risk of losing data. But you do lose something when you upgrade to Windows 11.

Back up

1. Select the Start button, then select Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Backup and Restore.
2. Do one of the following: If you’ve never used Windows Backup before, or recently upgraded your version of Windows, select Set up backup, and then follow the steps in the wizard.

Jump to:

1. Use OneDrive to transfer your data.
2. Use an external hard drive to transfer your data.
3. Use a transfer cable to transfer your data.
4. Use PCmover to transfer your data.
5. Use Macrium Reflect to clone your hard drive.
6. Use Nearby sharing instead of HomeGroup.
7. Use Flip Transfer for quick, free sharing.

The USB cable can be used to transfer data from one computer to another using Microsoft operating system. It saves you time since you do not need an external device to first upload the data in order to transfer to a different computer. USB data transfer is also faster than data transfer via wireless network.

If you back up before a Windows 10 upgrade or reinstall, you can restore it and the upgrade will be “undone”. Everything will be as it was before you started. The process is simple: run backup software, telling it to create a system image backup and where to place it.

Before a Windows 10 upgrade or any major change, create a system image backup using Windows’ built-in tool or a free alternative. Place the backup on an external hard disk and save it until you’re satisfied your system is working properly. If something goes wrong with the update, you can “undo” by restoring the image.

If you’re using Windows’ built-in backup, the original installation media works, or you can create a recovery disk; Create a Windows 10 Recovery Drive shows you how. Boot from the rescue media. Attach the external drive containing the backup image to your computer. Use the backup software from the rescue media to restore the image to your computer.

While it’s highly unlikely that anything will go wrong in the course of an upgrade, we’d still recommend being safe – a new install is a good excuse for a backup! If you’re heading for a clean install or an upgrade, you’ll want to make sure you don’t lose anything valuable in the process.
