Hi, arvindbassan1

My name is Aracely, I am an Independent Advisor. I would love to help you today.

I recommend you repair Windows completely before you should make a copy of your files.

Hi Arvind

When you purchase a new PC or laptop these days, it does not come with a Windows DVD or Product key, because Windows 10 licencing is very different to previous versions

When you initially activate Windows 10 on that new laptop, a digital signature for that is generated and stored on the Microsoft Activation servers, then should you ever need to re-install Windows 10 on that laptop , once you install the same edition (Home, Pro . . etc) it will self-activate once it is put on the Internet

If you encounter problems with Windows 10, it has its own built-in Recovery Environment that has many options, including resetting Windows 10 factory settings

If you ever need to re-install Windows 10, you can always download and create bootable Windows 10 installation media on an 8GB flash drive and that will be the best method, since it will contain the latest version of Windows 10

to download the Media Creation Tool (Click on Download Tool Now), with that you can download the latest Windows 10 ISO (Select Create Installation Media for Another PC), you can create a bootable USB flash drive (min 8GB) using that tool
