I would like to suggest Macrium Reflect or Aomei Backupper for a good and reliable backup solution. Both have a good free version.

Hello @LANDRO, you are wise to heed the sage advice that has been mentioned for the fortifications of your configuration. I truly liked your choices, & also share your appreciation of Windows 7 SP 1.
I'd noticed you'd listed blocking ads but not trackers, yet both uBlock & Disconnect (happily) block certain ones of these by default.
A free software that's been around for some time is WinPatrol which alerts you of changes being made & the impact of programs upon startup. It warns you with a cute little rrrfff!
The extension our family uses most is also a secure password manager called LastPass.
In addition to adding 256 bit AES (advanced encryption security) during all our log-ins, it also makes our on-line lives a great deal more convenient, and it's free!

Really nice config. If you want an extra layer of defense which is light on your system, you may consider re-enabling UAC and setting it at the default level, so that it's not as obtrusive.
Backing up your computer using full system images is extremely important, as they allow you to restore your system to an exact clean state in which it was when you created the system image.
You may consider these free backup applications for creating full system images to restore the exact state of your system as it was when you backed it up:

Also, concerning password managers, this is the one which I definitely trust, and use it everyday:
KeePass
1. It's open source (everyone can check its source code for any malicious lines of code, and if they still don't trust it they can compile it themselves from the source code they deem as most trusted)
2. It offers many layers of extremely strict security - more information here: Features - KeePass and here Security - KeePass
3. It has many helpful features.

Consider to have a backup browser in case the one you use at the moment may cause issues.
For backup, you need to have a handy external HDD to place those snapshot on any program you use to conduct 'backup and recovery'.
Besides you have a fine configuration already.
