Default Windows 8 works well

Windows 8 works very well as other systems after XP. Never tried 8.1 or RT.
I have curiosity to try Windows RT but we can only have it on Microsoft
Surface tablet which is a bit luxury extra toy to standard class people. It
must be a very secure system to surf on web. I don't know what would happen
if we had a problem because there is no Windows RT DVD to reinstall.

All Surface and Surface Pro units (ARM/RT and Intel respectively) have
the ability to reset and refresh the system to factory condition.

Do they have a backup facility?
With USB that question must surely have a truth-value of yes.

Traditional backup like Windows 7 Backup and Restore is not present on 8.1.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/w...backup-restore

File History is available
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/w...e-file-history

Optionally via the File History app one can create a System Image on a
hard disk (external, internal [different partition or different drive -
if the former it needs to be selected by computer name/folder]), dvd or
network location. System Image can save the System Reserved and/or
drives/partitions.
