Backing up Windows 10 and re-installing that back up........?

[Blackink]

I would like to create a back up of my wife's Dell laptop running Windows 10, as is explained in this link:
http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-2569587/back-windows.html

I will save that back up to a secondary hard drive that's in the laptop used for storage.

What I'm not seeing, in this list of Windows 10 tutorials: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2569694/windows-tutorials-guides.html , is how to install that back up I just created if I ever need to do that.

Can someone point me in the right direction for step by step instructions on restoring the back up?

Thanks for the help.

I use Clonezilla for creating images for backup purposes. I just create new ones every so often (Every so many months, keeping multiples on my important machine).

Macrium Reflect will do exactly this.

CloneZilla was good several years ago, as a full cloning solution.

Macrium, and create an Image of the full drive off to some other drive.
A Macrium Rescue CD or USB will allow you to use that Image, and apply it to any drive you wish, in that same system.

And I'm not just spouting about stuff I don't use...I use Macrium daily, in my regular backup routine.
