Alas, the link to the solution doesn't work anymore, but making a "windows 8 system image" is discussed elsewhere, for example in http://www.tomshardware.com/news/how-to-make-system-image-backup,26542.html.
Of course, there are other programs that can do the same (and more), like Acronis True Image (paid) or Easeus Todo Backup Free (free, and highly recommended by some of our members). Making a regular image of the system to an hard disk is better than having only the initial status on DVD's. After all, it's a lot of work to go back in 2019 from the 2015 status (as it is now) to the 2019 status (with updates, more programs and much more data).
