Disk imaging is a way to backup a PC, or to make copies of a PC setup to be placed on more then one PC. Disk imaging is much faster than reinstalling the OS, updating the OS, and installing your favorite apps.
There are many programs out there to help you create a disk image of your PC. Below is a list of the software. Some are free, and others are paid. Most of them have a free version and paid version. The paid version of the software has more features.

I suggest that you place your disk image on more then one external hard drive/ USB thumb drive. If your machine has more than one hard drive to put it on another drive in the machine.
