Can you rephrase this laptop problem for me?

Hello,

 

When you receive a new laptop, what steps do you take after unboxing it to ensure everything is in working order?

 

Have you considered creating a full backup using Macrium immediately after unboxing to safeguard against any potential issues in the future? Would you keep this initial backup indefinitely or delete it once it's no longer needed?

 

Thank you.

    After activating Windows and installing all updates, immediately create a system image backup using Macrium Reflect and retain this initial backup long-term for recovery purposes.
