The subject tells half the story, but moreso, I want to at least have the option to switch back to windows 8 (paranoid fear of change), from what I've learned (on these boards and by looking in my computer box) is there is no windows 8 reinstall disc.
My computer is an asus ultrabook thus no interna cd/dvd drive(though I do have an external dvd drive), I tried to create a backup, but apparently it still wouldn't give me the option to save it on a dvd, it required another disk (usb?).
In a nutshell I'm asking: is this what I need to do in order to avoid the nightmares of change that invariably will occur if I don't create a backup. OR do I not actually have to do this?
ALSO, it occurs to me the Linux Mint image that I saved was on dvd... will this actually work for installing Mint since I'm using an external drive?
I swear somehow Microsoft has somehow caused me psychological damage because of the near guilt I have over leaving them after so many years.
