    Hello
    for your backup there is no risk
    terabyte image for windows
    macrium reflect free or pro
    the best is to change your hard drive if you want to make a change of bones his simplest if there is an error in the backup this can happen unfortunately does not take the risk of all lose me I change the hard drive for my experience or virtual machine VMWARE virtualbox voila

    If this is branded laptop you should have the option to make recovery dvd's or thumbdrive does it not have Asus one key recovery. As for installation key it is embeded in bios you should never need it again HWID is stored on MS servers.
