        @Kischa I don't see why you would try to do this. You create your ideal setup then you take out your sd card and create a backup image of it. Done.

          @rbaker Yes I know that way ( I forgot to mention that sorry) but I want a quicker way...

          I recon 7-zip will do this so I will try that.

          Thanks for your answer Rbaker!

              Easiest way would be to download VirtualBox (an open source virtual machine) and install a copy of Linux Ubuntu on it (also open source). That way on your PC you will have a real, full running version of linux you can start and stop as needed. Linux is the only stable way to mount and edit linux partitions, doing it in windows or mac requires some janky workarounds.
