❌ Windows 7 Backup and Restore
The Windows 7 Backup and Restore tool remains present in Windows 11 mostly for compatibility and the ability to access old backups. It’s no longer being updated, and even Microsoft has said it’s time to move on. It wasn’t a great tool to begin with, and there are many more capable alternatives you can use instead.
