@pablozi:
  • For "Disk Imaging Backup", You may add Macrium Reflect Free or AOEMI Backupper, both are free and reliably.
  • Consider also to run manual backups of important data to external devices.
  • A PassWord Manager would be welcome also.
Please kindly reflect Your changes editing Your config, and announcing them here, thanks for sharing :giggle:
 
Replace Revo by Hibit Uninstaller. Its' free and the best from all the uninstallers I tested.
 
Removed Brave - sync issues are killing me: sometimes it takes hours to sync from PC to Smartphone and vice versa and every few days I end up with doubled bookmarks. Too much hassle for a browser.
Will give it a go again after next few major releases.
 
Think I will add VS to my config. I love the software and still have a valid license ;)
