Hi THW Community =D
You've always given me the best advice in the past, and im hoping you can pull through again!

I recently had a scare that I may have lost all of my data and I didnt have an up to date backup, so I reformatted my 2TB external harddrive so that it was clean, and I want to back up both of my internal HDs (1 SSD and 1 2TB green drive).

The first problem I am having is that even though I am on Windows 10, my PC still uses Backup and Restore Windows 7 edtn. Is there an update or fix to this?

Next, the backup i am doing doesn't seem to be making any progress. It has been essentially in the same position for a few hours now, and I believe that it is just going extremely slowly. Any way I can speed this up?

Finally, how can I confirm that the data from both of my internal HD's have been backed up.

If you need any info from me, Ill be on for a while.
Thanks
