How to make a Linux dump / image of new hardware, so that later I can restore it for a return?

Question

linux

We bought a new laptop on linux, they ask us to install windows, but there are chances that we will have to return it if the user doesn’t like it, there are no problems with installing windows in general, it’s much more interesting to learn how to properly dump the current system (Linux) and restore it so that if anything can be quickly return everything to its place.

Answer 1

option 2: Clonezilla is the same dd only with a pseudo-graphical interface.
option 3: Acronis True Imager and others like them, back up a partition with linux.
but you need to look at how the disk is partitioned - the best option is to have a partition with an operating system and a partition with data. otherwise you will have to screw the external media

Answer 2

Systemback writes the system image to a flash drive, then you can boot from the flash drive and install the system from the recorded image.

I take the assembly
sergeistrelec.ru/winpe_10_8/146-winpe-10-8-sergei-...
I roll it to a USB flash drive (size from 4 GB) I
boot from a USB flash drive
I shoot an image (depending on the preferences of Acronis \ Ghost)
