    Hi Forum

    I have a
    15.6" Series 7 Chronos Notebook 1TB HDD NP780Z5E
    NP780Z5E-T01UK

    Its running Windows 10 Pro version 1511. OS Build 10586.218. 64 Bit OS.

    I didn't do a clean install of Windows 10. (I simply followed the Mircosoft 'upgrade now' prompts.

    I then found that Recovery had lost the 'Backup' option so I rolled back following the advice here.
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/samsung-recovery-problem-on-win-10.780718/page-2

    The Backup completes successfully - I put it on an external drive.

    But I notice that the Recover option only shows one backup - the first backup taken in April 2014 on my HDD.

    I wonder if perhaps I am creating backups I cannot use in the event of problem.

    Any advice on what I should do gratefully received.

    Sorry, I was out all day.

    It's been several days now since your original post, you can simply post your question again in any of those threads without breaking our cross-posting rules. That way your post will be new and thus more likely to attract other participants in the thread.

    But only one thread at a time. If you don't get a response, you can post in the other thread after 24 hours.
