Want to back up my entire drive, ~500 gb of stuff like college assignments & programs (with bitlocker). I'm sending my computer to the depot for repairs and I have no idea if they will keep my storage intact, so I want to back it all up so I can boot literally EVERYTHING up like before without any issues, as I know I'll forget some things if I try to backup each file manually. What's the best way of doing this? I have a 2TB HDD and I've heard macrium and windows 7 backup and restore options are viable but I have no idea about which is better or if I need to clone my drive or create an image of it, not sure with all of the terminology and all for the preferred option for my situation. If the technicians wipe my SSD, I want to be able to restore my drive with all of my games and projects downloaded like I never had my data wiped. (I don't have all of the install programs saved in my downloads) How can I do this, would appreciate any help!

I want to back up literally all of my files in preparation for laptop repairs. I am shipping my laptop to the lenovo depot (I have ultimate support plan) to make some repairs and fix some issues with my laptop (audio stuttering, display issues, dented frame, etc.) They said that I should completely back up my files in case they wipe everything. I don't have access to any flash drives or storages, but I see that windows has a recovery feature (onedrive only has 5gb), and I feel as though that is not enough as my C drive/SSD has 500 gb of storage filled. How can I save all of my files so that I can recover EVERYTHING when I receive my laptop from the depot? Sort of like how Apple has a transfer data option when you get a new phone, where all of your data just gets transferred over from old device to new, is there any way I can do this?

I’ve been putting this off for way too long, but I was wondering if anyone knew of some certifiable storage places where I can keep my things over the summer. I was originally going to keep things with a relative, but that fell apart unfortunately. I was considering the Storage Squad but it seemed expensive and I didn’t hear many good reviews. Preferably this place would be nearby to campus, and I will be completely out of state until next semester so I won’t be able to come back and check up on anything or spray my things for silverfish or something. I have some shelves and boxes, as well as some garbage bags of clothes & non-perishable food that I don’t want to toss. Just wondering if there is a preferred option for OOS tech students for their belongings over the summer, would appreciate some recommendations and feedback from anyone who’s gone through this before, I am running very low on time so any suggestions are appreciated!! Ideally it shouldn’t be too expensive but I would prefer my things are kept properly over anything. Thanks

Anyone have this, all download links aren't working and I want to practice something for fun, appreciate it if someone had the download link

Genuinely how do you study for this final I swear the practice questions are tough asf compared to what the lecture teaches and then the exam will be even tougher than that. Thank goodness for infinite cheat sheets but honestly idk how anyone is studying for this without ChatGPT, which loves to grossly underestimate the type of questions given bc the slides don’t prepare you for them :(
