Yes, this hard drive will allow you to perform a full system backup of your Windows 8 laptop. Out of the box, you have two options: 1) Use the Seagate utility to perform a snapshot/backup of your system and maintain any deltas. 2) Windows has it's own built-in backup utility. This option will snapshot your system configuration and files (if you choose to do so). That way, once you replace your dying HDD, you can restore a little more efficiently because most of your system configuration will already be in tact. You may have to reinstall your applications. i.e. adobe, office 2013, etc.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This hard drive can be used to do a complete backup of a system as long as that system does not have a hard drive exceeding 3TB.
