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.)
