Sidenote on a Resetup

2022-02-23 1 min read Windows Alex

When I think back..

..on how much time it took me in the past to perform a fresh install of my desktop OS, backup the Data, find the application specifics and then reapply everything afterwards.

I did hesitate a little and was tripple checking that my data and pictures are stored within OneDrive and everything is synced.

Create a bootable USB drive and remove the partitions! - no way back..(theoretically)

..after authenticating my Microsoft account, everything was there no problem, the little something I moved manually (downloads for example) I copied back from the SDcard and done!

[Shortly I had the impression that I’ve lost my bookmarks from Edge, because they didn’t initially come back, but it was only a missing setting to allow it to sync back, even that worked like a charm! Oh what comfortable times we live in.. 🙃 ]
