Hi
I recomend that you create a systim image using EaseUS TODO backup and recovery.
It creates a backup that will restore the C:\ drive to exactly the way it was includding the Boot Sector.
It's free, I've been using it for years and it has always worked for me.
EaseUS Todo Backup Free is an award-winning and easy-to-use free data backup software for Windows 11/10 users to back up photos, music, videos, documents, system, etc. for PC users.

I make a new backup every month or so and keep the last on in addition.
It will make a Flash Drive or DVD that will boot your computer and run the recovery.
On my computer where I've made a issue out of keeping my C:\ drive as small as posible it only takes about 20 minutes to recover tha drive.
You might also want to look at...
Restore Point Creator, a small program that lets you make restore points and manage them, I've used it for years too.
Restore Point Creator is a simple program for the quick and easy creation and management of system restore points. No more drilling through multiple menus in Windows just to create a System Restore Point, now all you have to do is run this program, and that’s it.
