I would add the following two recommendations:
*) Avoid paths with spaces (e.g., try something like "Latex-works"
instead of "Latex works")
*) Avoid absolute paths for files that "belong together", use relative
paths instead (this also makes it much easier to copy/move the files,
e.g., for a backup). E.g., "\include{sections/1.tex}" instead of
"\include{F:/LaTex works/test/sections/1.tex}" in F:/LaTex
works/test/main.tex
