When I had my last PC built, I requested an extra hard drive to be installed so I could place all my files such as receipts, statements, embroidery designs, quilting designs, patterns, recipes, etc. on that drive instead of the "C" drive. This way if the computer crashed, I should still be able to retrieve my most needed files. I also from time to time back those files onto an external 1T hard drive so if I need to take the files to my laptop, I can. Now that you think about it, I probably should back everything up as it's been awhile.
