I believe that besides the USB Flash Drive, you would also have the following alternatives:

01) Boot via USB Flash Drive that was mentioned above;
02) Boot via External Optical Disc Drive;
03) Create an Image of your Hard Disk using Acronis True Image (has been the best, worsened and improved again!) and similar programs during Windows Boot via USB Flash Drive and External Optical Disc Drive;
04) Verify if your Notebook has such a Toshiba Original Factory Restore. You could do this via USB Flash drive, External Optical Disc Drive and / or during Windows Boot (repeatedly pressing one of these following keys depending on the hardware F5? F8? F10? F12? );
05) My older brother uses Windows 7 and 10 and by comparison, Windows 10 is far more user friendly, intuitive and more compatible with modern technologies. However, I am still using Win7...

PS: There is a very important Hidden Partition on branded PCs, that is, unmounted PCs.

I’ve already checked this Hidden Partition on Compaq, HP and Dell PCs. Most likely, your Notebook and PCs from other brands should also have this Hidden Partition.

This Hidden Partition would be an Original Factory Image when you turn on Original Factory Restore during Windows Boot using USB Flash Drive, External Optical Disc Drive or those keys I mentioned above.

If you create an Image via Acronis True Image both from your Operating System partition and from this Hidden Partition, you will feel more relaxed about Backup unless your Notebook crashes.
