Because I have the free edition I have no access to the forum.

If anyone has Reflect please help.

 

I installed what I thought would be a normal update and it was a whole new version which had a new, single disc choice.

I tried to follow the prompts but was not sure of a lot of them.

There seems to be no more Linux.

 

I created the WinPE5 for 8.1 and hope it will do Win 10 also.

 

Do you still boot from the disc or do you now boot from the program? I clicked to update drivers(optional) but could not understand so stopped. It listed many Broadcom's and had a question mark under one.

Any Reflect help appreciated.

 

I wonder if the native imaging would be better for a lower level user as I am looking for simplicity and reliability?

Looks pretty much the same to me.

 

 

This is on my Toshiba laptop running Windows 10 IP X64.

 

What do you see different?

[Ztruker]

I just created a rescue flash drive and it boots fine and starts Macrium.

 

Linux seems to be gone, just WinPE now.

Just did a backup of the W10 laptop to my external Toshiba Canvio HDD from Macrium run under Windows 10. Looked the same as before,

Thank you for the help. I will now proceed and see how it goes. I am using the WinPE 5 cd.

I read that many are writing in to restore Linux. I am in the middle as this seems ok.

Well, it worked fine doing both a recovery and a creation of an image, thankfully. I created a disc for each pc although perhaps one would do both.

 

I have read about re -deploy but it is not sinking in.

 

To switch an image to different places, examples:

 

1-If I buy a new pc can I install Macrium on it and access the image from the same external drive I did with the old pc to the new pc?

 

2-In the same vein, can I do the same with a new hard drive in the same pc.

 

I am trying to keep it simple even if more work is required.

[Ztruker]

You can access the image from any PC that has Macrium installed and can connect to the HDD.

 

Not sure what you mean by question 2 though. Please explain.

[Peter1]

Sure. If my hard drive fails in pc 1, can I insert or install a new hard drive in its place then access the image I need from the same external drive I used for the old hard drive that failed?   The only change would be the defective hard drive within the pc.

 

 

So, if re-deploy is hard for me to grasp, I could still image from an external drive after replacing the pc failed drive with another?

 

Re- deploy is another way to do that?

Don't know what redeploy is, sorry. I'll have to take a look at it sometime.

 

Replace the drive then restore the image, absolutely. That's one of the beauties of image backup.

[Peter1]

The information you have given me is sufficient, thank you.

I only mention re-deploy b/c Macrium talks about it so much in its help sections as a feature to use under special circumstances.

[Ztruker]

I'd like to read up on it a bit so will check it out some time.
