Making a backup of the Windows Registry
For this reason, we can make a backup of the registry in case of at some point we have a problem, in that case, we can restore it and everything continues to work correctly. For the purpose of that, we have to access the registry by clicking Windows + R, then we type regedit and press enter,
Windos +R Run regedit
A warning message will appear, just say yes.
At that moment a window with the Windows registry will be open, click on the File menu -> Export.
At that time, we will open a dialog window where we can indicate the name we want to give to the .reg file that we are going to create and the path where we want to save it.
It is highly recommendable to save the file in an external storage drive, like USB drive, so that if we found a problem, we can solute easily by double-clicking in the file .reg.
In like manner, if Windows does not start at all, we always can start it in safe mode, access the storage unit where we have saved the backup, and restore it on our computer.
