Yes backups (FULL monthly, weekly would be better, with daily differentials), different directories instead of the default "downloads," "My documents," etc.,

But with this version of windows people might want to seriously consider upgrading from the free Win 10 Home (from Win 7 or 8 home) and pay the extra bucks ($99) to upgrade to Win 10 Professional - if you don;t already have the Win 10 Pro via your upgrade.

With Win 10 Pro you can control when updates get installed (you can at least DELAY them for a long enough period, like that Nov update fiasco that was pulled - where all this deleted SW reports came form) until you see the affects on the various PC's and configs used but free Win 1`0 Home (beta or guinea pig) testers.

Please note it still falls to you to PAY ATTENTION and READ about the updates before installing them (and a backup just prior is ALWAYS a prudent IDEA)

Your expensive DAW (RB/PTPA, Sonar, Mixcraft, Cubase, Reaper, Studio One, Pro Tools) and other music SW (BIAB, soft synths, Musescore, Finale, etc.) - possibly productivity or other additional hobby software from non-MS vendors (Photoshop, SPSS, Simtools, tax prep, games, your kids and grand kids pics/movies, etc) not to mention all your sweat equity (labor) in recording and editing your music.......ALL DEPEND and SIT under the CONTROL of the OS over which most users have little insight and now with Win 10 (Win 10 Home in particular) even less control

Happy New Year to ALL my friends here (and even those that block me :-) )
