Hello. I am currently stumped on how to back up all my files, without including windows. My motherboard died earlier, so I had to get a new windows and luckily I was able to get a windows 8 Pro key. But I had Windows 10 before, so I have to do a clean install to be able to activate windows 8 and then try and back up my files. The reason I want to back up my files is because I have over 80 games and my internet is not the best, so I basically want to do a system image without copying the windows 10 onto an external hard drive.
I have already tried to clean install and then restore, but doing so (when in windows 8) reverted me back to windows 10. I am using AOMEI backupper but is there a better alternative to this that will allow me to restore without going to windows 10? Or is there a shortcut that I can do to copy all files but the windows 10 ones?
Thanks for a your help and for reading,
Blake
