TheBlue262's System Config

[TheBlue262]

Here is my system config. Any tips would be appreciated.

I would like to suggest some backup software such as Macrium Reflect or Aomei Backupper both have a free and reliable version.

If you do not have a portable HDD i would suggest Aomei One Key it will even help you create a new partition to backup to.

Thanks for sharing your config.

Do you happen to know which backup I should use? Should I use a system backup, disk backup, or a partition backup?

I would do a system backup that is what id, and do not forget to make a bootable USB to boot from as well. You can read here how to do it. How to create Aomei Partition Assistant usb bootable disk?

Good configuration, all main layers are well covered, just thinking about adding HTTPS Everywhere.

Thanks for sharing.

good config
be aware that rollback rx should be uninstalled before all major windows updates.
and if you have SSD, you will want to uninstall it and reboot and run TRIM every once in a while.
there are a few other things to be careful about with rollback, such as not resizing partitions or messing with MBR unless you uninstall it first.
It is a great program, but has its things.
AOMEI and macrium reflect are much more straightforward

Looks good to me thanks for sharing!

Why OP isn't using a AV? Will Keylogger protection and Exploit prevention act as replacements to AV?
So, what about your smartphone? Or are you using mobiles with keypads to avoid detection/spying as per Snowden's suggestion?

zemana+voodoo+knowledge and good sense = a replacement for traditional AV.

I didn't see VS because of little spaces here and there. Yeah I heard the same even from Sir Umbra(AV killer) as well.

I had https everywhere but I removed it after having some issues with it. Some websites were not loading properly because of it. I will install and try it again. Thanks for the advice!

I was wondering, why do I need to uninstall rollback rx before a major update? What issues can happen if it is not uninstalled?
