HP Elitebook 8560w and Thinkpad 530w. Drivers and software on the HP are backupped, so no search for those. It seems, the preowner reinstalled Win7 before selling off. Otherwise, why are the drivers in the download folder? On the HP site is a lot of software and drivers for this model, but I am very cautious to install them. BIOS and Intel ME updates...ok, never change a running team! Last year, for the first time, I had to reinstall Win7 on our PC, after 7 years! Not very difficult, having an installation DVD&DriverDVD for the graphics card. Making a system repair DVD and system backup went nuts, no clues why. I have very little experience in installing Win. Linux I installed way more. Making a system backup of Win10, Thinkpad, did not work, too. At least a system repair disk was completed. Will try a NTFS external HDD. HDD is encrypted, even if I can backup the system there, probably useless, how to open the HDD to repair the OS? Decrypting the HDD would take quite a time.
