Dell installs norton ghost on most new pc's
A brief summary of this is : They install 2 hardrives. Ones a primary the other is strictly a backup drive. Norton ghost for the 90 day trial lets you make any restores you want and stores them on the 2nd drive. After the 90 days you cant make any more points BUT you can still revert back to any previous ones you have made.
So in a nutshell instead of reformatting you can just revert back to your first restore point and have exactly all the info you had at that time. This isn't just a restore its A EXACT copy of your hardrive at the time you made whatever restore you made. So you are getting every file, every game EVERYTHING at that time and losing whatever you have currently.
Best imo
now hes my question
I understand I can defrag my main drive BUT should I chance defragging my 2nd drive? Im not sure the effects of defragging the drive because its setup in order of restore points so defragging might mix files and such?
Since dell online isn't on now im wondering if any of you guys have any ideas on this?
