This USB drive is the only way I create and restore images. I also occasionally create another USB drive that uses Windows PE, with this I include a host of drivers good across many computers. I make a bootable USB drive that uses WinRE, This insures that the appropriate drivers for my computer are included. When restoring the PC, in contrast to Aomei. This feature differs from that of the paid Home version, which uses incremental imaging. The imaging can be done while the PC is running, and all these are completed with differential images. Macrium Reflect Free will continue to work for years and should at least work through the demise of Windows 11, at least and especially for how I use it. Reflect Free offers outstanding options, including letting you create a schedule to back up your hard drive. While unfortunate, this isn’t an immediate emergency/issue. General – Lower than actual write speed values were shown in Disk Write Performance tool. System Restore – Staging a system restore from Windows would sometimes fail to automatically reboot after the restore completed within the rescue environment. Imaging – When reading some Bitlocker volumes, Reflect could attempt to allocate an erroneously large block of memory. ViBoot – VirtualBox VMs sometime would not show in viBoot GUI.
