This is not my comment from the Play store, it’s from another Sync user having a similar issue:

You might also look into the built in tool that Windows 10 has for doing an image level backup of the system.

Here’s a page that walks you through a system image backup.

This is a great post for anyone thinking of running an instance!

Maybe they should scan for unmarked graves, too…

The internal usb and SD card slot are just there in case you want to boot from usb or SD.

You can install your OS to them and then all of your HDDs can be used for storage instead of losing capacity to an OS partition.

Back in the day, we would look for the newest SmartStart CD to install from, but it’s no longer possible to get from official channels. Also they’re only useful for installing the supported operating systems.

The G7 knows the thermal profile of most HP hardware of it’s generation and runs the fans at the appropriate speed for proper cooling for known hardware, but sticking anything 3rd party (or just newer) in there will ramp it up to max cooling mode for thermal protection. It’s a pain.

I knew there was a reason I saved all those IRC chat logs!

I think it would be really interesting to study, and I don’t imagine there would be many ethical issues? Until you realize that you’re the one in the vat, and funding just dried up for the research project.
