I repaired my cousin's laptop yesterday using a bootable USB with a new Windows 10 ISO. Now I need to create a backup of the current setup—files, documents, photos, apps—since their internet connection isn’t reliable and restoring to the original state would lose everything. I’m aware of the "Create a Restore Point" option, but three people I know have had problems with it not capturing enough data or failing altogether. Can I set up another disk partition on the laptop containing everything I’ve installed and restored? This would give them a full restore option without starting from scratch, avoiding the hassle of reinstalling everything.

Are you seeing the desired functionality with File History? At the moment, your 90 GB partition on the HDD (using Windows 10 plus your files and applications) is roughly balanced with about 80 GB, but File History isn’t recognizing this new drive yet.
