It helps to have one or more external drives.

Control Panel
System & Security
Backup and Restore

Create a System Image
- on a hard drive
- on one or more DVDs
  Note: creation of a system image takes a long time- I let it run overnight.
You can also create a bootable drive here

This is where External drives are invaluable - choose one and use the option to recover

You might also want to start
Save backup copies with File History (again you'd want an external drive)

I also use Acronis to backup my system, but misplaced the bootable DVD
