When I first installed Windows 10 in my PC almost 1 year ago I started to back up the system drive using Window’s inbuilt backup. Suddenly I had to restore my system due to (not remember the exact reason) to the system drive but the restore was failed!
After I lost my hope on Windows 10 inbuilt backup utility and moved to EaseUS Todo Backup, I have done many system drives restores over the years, with 100% success.
Now I have recently built a second computer lately I started to hear good reviews about Windows 10 built-in Backup as it has removed version by version so I thinking whether Windows 10 produces 100% recoverable system drive backups reliably, or whether I should just buy a second copy of EaseUs.
I also don’t want to spend extra money if Windows 10 has improved

Hello @Ahmed2020
Of course you can trust on Microsoft backup utility, it is used by many companies.

Hi, @Ahmed2020,
If you are using for personal user I suggest not to use it. The Windows image backup tool is a deprecated feature and no longer supported. Microsoft recommends using 3rd Party Tools like EASEUS Todo, Macrium Reflect, Veeam Backup or Vembu Backup few of them are Free and better and faster.
Since the Windows 10 Fall Creator update, the program was deprecated and no longer actively developed by Microsoft. Below is the official response of Microsoft on the deprecation of Backup and Restore services.
While there is no behavioral change to Backup and Restore, this function is being deprecated and will not be updated. It was rarely used and its functionality has been replaced by the new File History feature. It will ship in Windows 8 and enthusiasts who upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8 or depend on Backup and Restore or disk image backup will be still able to use it. However, all access points to Backup and Restore, with the exception of the Control Panel, have been removed. The Control Panel applet used by Backup and Restore was renamed to Windows 7 File Recovery.
OEMs that were setting the registry key to disable backup notification in their images will no longer need to do that.
We do not recommend using both features at the same time. File History checks if Backup schedule exists and is active and if it finds one, it will not let users to turn it on. In this case, users who want to use File History will have to delete the Windows Backup schedule.
As @VIkasmadan mentioned it was still trusted by Most of the companies as they were not able to offer the backup software for the larger number of PCs. Due to the free in-built free, they had to lay on the Microsoft Backup services.
