I have collected some links to Youtube Tutorials on Windows 10 Partitioning. It may not be complete since the internet is flooded with info.
I have tried to order them in an approximate order of usefulness: Very approximately the number at the left is a 1 to 10 rating, so the first few should give you most of the information.

There is the standard You tube internet link, and also a link to a copy of the video in Windows Media Player, .WMV format.
I personally found it useful to put all the .WMV files in a folder, then if you select them all , you can right click and select something like Play, https://imgur.com/uFPSoPm and then you will get a repeating continuous long play of all the videos without adverts. I left this running in the background on an old computer for a few days whilst I did something else, so I slowly picked up all the information without too much effort.

Drivers

We are still in the development of computing. I guess one day something smaller than a DVD will be stuck in your computer and everything will work first and every time.

In the early days you got your computer, a lot of manuals to read and a pile of disks.
You had to put the dusk in one after the other in a particular order and things got added into the computer at specific times in specific places. The first few discs could loosely be regarded as the operating system discs. Towards the end were discs adding things like…
_ the software specifically needed to get your keyboard, screen, printer etc. to work,
and
_ possibly some associated software specific to a particular manufactures circuitry / chip used in the computer.

If you changed or fiddled around with things in the computer, then you might have needed to install new software to match the new stuff.
The software associated with the last few things has loosely gone under the name of Drivers since then. In the meantime, software related to more imaginary type things has also been included in the generally used word of Drivers.

As time goes on, a few things are happening.
_ Some things arte getting made more standard so that different things can be run from the same software.
_ More and more of different things are becoming available, especially as external devices get cheaper but worse quality so they don't last long and a new one is sold to replace it
_ Storage space for software is getting easier and cheaper.
_ People supplying operating systems and computers sometimes have a large data bank including a lot of the most typical Drivers

The end result of all this is that often an awful lot of Drivers are included in what is ( typically now a single ) operating system disc.
If you are very lucky after a system re install, all things will work, either because the Driver software you had previously was included in the large data bank of Drivers in the re instillation disc, or an alternative Driver works just as well.

More often than not, a few things won't work properly because no Driver Software got installed that worked. Appropriate software may or may not have been on the instillation disc. The processes to check and install such software may or may not be successful because the different systems make it difficult to write a software that will work in all systems.
In almost all case, basic things like keyboard , an internet browser, and specific software that Microsoft include as "free" in their windows will be there. Also a monitor will usually work, but might not be perfect, since different graphic options / different graphic software and manufacture specific circuitry has become one of the most varied and is still has a lot of development going on.

In any case, at the end of the day, before considering a system re install you might want to consider doing some preparation regarding Drivers,… You might want to do some sort of Driver back up

Driver back up

I think broadly there are three ways of doing this, the second two I mention are similar and involve truly backing up , whereas thee first I mention is not strictly speaking backing up , but I think is quite a good idea in addition to doing one or more of the others

( Driver back up ) Driver DVDs

Driver DVDs

I think broadly there are three ways of doing this, the second two I mention are similar and involve truly backing up , whereas the first I mention in this post, is not strictly speaking backing up , but I think is quite a good idea in addition to doing one or more of the others

Driver DVD (or similar software available to download)
Sometimes this might be referred to as a Driver Recovery Disc, or even just Recovery disk, although the terms like repair recovery restore and backup are extremely inconsistently and imprecisely used and most people could be talking about anything when they use them, and half the time have no idea what they are talking about.

I think a long time ago, one or a small number of people decided to develop some software that consisted of two main parts:
_ A large data bank of most of the software available to control ( "drive" ) the various things inside computers mand most of the external devices known to be connected to them.
_ A coding , or set of coding, that in the typically available computers and their operating systems has the ability to check what devices and things are in or connected to a computer, and then , if need be install the correct, or failing that , a working alternative software.

This was done some time ago, and in the meantime this software has been copied, added to , modified and made available by a large amount of people.
You can get the software free or at a small cost as a download from the internet, or alternatively , for a small cost , just a few dollars , barely more than the post costs, you can get the software on a storage device, most typically a DVD.

In the case of most of the DVDs you put them in and they either start doing things on their own, or you try to locate something like an lkadhlHDKJHD .exe file in them , and run that by double clicking on it, or by what ever other method you usually use to run external software from a DVD disc.
Usually then a user friendly interface pops up and is fairly easy to follow.

I would recommend finding a trusted source and buy some of these Discs, as they are very cheap.
Most of them have been modified many times and sold on by people as their own, and you may be able to modify them further yourself, to add software that you know you need.
Knowing how to do that might become clear as we discuss the other two ways of backing up.




I may come back here later and discuss making / modifying your own DVDs

Driver Backup Issues

At the outset of talking about this in relation to Windows 10, it is worth noting that within the typical Instillation / Re instillation process has apparently a very good automatic search and update Driver facility towards the end of the Instillation / Re instillation process. So for the case of a typical Windows 10 Instillation / Re instillation you may not need to do anything after to gat all your devices working correctly

When we discus these sort of things, we usually are talking about the
_ back up
And the
_ re instillation, (## or checking thereof, since the re instillation may get done automatically sometimes )
It is worth noting at this point, that the ways to do these two steps are often mixed up a bit: In other words you may use one way to back up, and then vary which way you use to re install, assuming that you need to##

I think the theme of “backing up of Drivers” can be summarised quite easily, and I am surprised that no one has done it yet. Most information on the internet and in YouTube Tutorials seems quite patchy. This possibly reflects the mixed up and hap hazard way that it may be done by people in the praxis

Most of the Files required to do an effective back up are kept at a couple of locations, something along the lines of
C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore
C:\Windows\System32\drivers : https://imgur.com/2BNlDBw
Windows drivers.jpg : https://imgur.com/l31z5Le
In addition a few may be somewhere else.

The way to check for where the software is to look in the Device Manager , select the devices , and then look at their properties:
One way to find the Device Manager is to right click bottom left on the Microsoft Start Symblol, then look for it in the pop up list:
Right Click bottom left Device Manager.jpg https://imgur.com/T5Jhcii
Or you can start typing in a search box somewhere something like devi .. and you will likely find your way there somehow
Search device manager.jpg : https://imgur.com/74D8vLN

Once you have that main Window open , you can navigate with some mouse clicking and selecting until you find the shown Files location
Device Manager device properties.jpg https://imgur.com/KgEM1cv https://imgur.com/vK0YoST https://imgur.com/uO7qRrO https://imgur.com/lW3sGcV

You can then use the File explorer to find the file or files


Here is the list made manually from the Device Manager driver properties

Driver Backup Issues

At the outset of talking about this in relation to Windows 10, it is worth noting that within the typical Instillation / Re instillation process has apparently a very good automatic search and update Driver facility towards the end of the Instillation / Re instillation process. So for the case of a typical Windows 10 Instillation / Re instillation you may not need to do anything after to gat all your devices working correctly

When we discus these sort of things, we usually are talking about the
_ back up
And the
_ re instillation, (## or checking thereof, since the re instillation may get done automatically sometimes )
It is worth noting at this point, that the ways to do these two steps are often mixed up a bit: In other words you may use one way to back up, and then vary which way you use to re install, assuming that you need to##

I think the theme of “backing up of Drivers” can be summarised quite easily, and I am surprised that no one has done it yet. Most information on the internet and in YouTube Tutorials seems quite patchy. This possibly reflects the mixed up and hap hazard way that it may be done by people in the praxis

Most of the Files required to do an effective back up are kept at a couple of locations, something along the lines of
C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore

In addition a few may be somewhere else.

The way to check for where the software is to look in the Device Manager , select the devices , and then look at their properties:
One way to find the Device Manager is to right click bottom left on the Microsoft Start Symblol, then look for it in the pop up list:

Or you can start typing in a search box somewhere something like devi .. and you will likely find your way there somehow

Once you have that main Window open , you can navigate with some mouse clicking and selecting until you find the shown Files location

You can then use the File explorer to find the file or files


Here is the list made manually from the Device Manager driver properties

(Driver Backup) methods.

The two main ways to do gat copies of your device files are.
3rd party Software
_ An external software with a user friendly interface. ( Usually this can also be used later to re install the files )
_ manually copying and storing / or using short , CMD / Windows Shell , type command lines to semi automate copying and storing.


As a working example, I will list and store as much as I can using both methods, or a combinations of both methods, as well as noting other things such as the existing state of the device Manager.

Then I will try to compare the situation after a system re install with the situation before

The next posts may be a bit poorly organised as I do various things to document the situation of the computer Before
It is a bit of a chicken and egg situation for me. I don't know exactly what to do until I done it already
I may tidy them up later
