Hi!
I'm writing because i want to know how do you do to make your Windows installation stronger.
A few days ago my backup PC just stop working (never finish'd booting) so i had to make a new clean installation.
Do you use more than one HDD? RAID setup? Disk freeze? Disk image?
For now, two PCs works for me but i know farily is not an option (when i have 2 streamings on same day im lost if one fails).
Thanks in advance.

Do what I am doing...Clone your HDs, and keep them in the PC case...I the event of a freeze, crash, and you can not reboot, just open the case, connect the cloned drive, and off you go again until you can get a fix.....saved my butt a few days ago, when I was testing for an appointment.....just had to disconnect the main drive, connect the clone , and all was well again....

RAID can be complicated, but also a lifesaver. I used a system with a RAID1 boot volume for many years.

These days my systems boot from SSD. It's possible to have a cloned image on a backup SSD ready to go. There are event mounts that provide accessible, hot-swappable SATA SSD slots.
