    Windows imaging software

    As Macrium Reflect Free will no longer be updated as of 1-1-2024 I'm wondering if it's wise to keep using it after that date. If not then is Windows Backup a suitable replacement or should I look for another free application ? There seems to be a plethora of the latter, any recommendations ...

    Are the Samsung Evo SSD 500GB 860 and the 870 interchangeable so I can just swap them out without conflict? I could either format the new or create a new simple volume, or better yet recover a Macrium image? TY

    Windows 10 Macrium boot question

    When I recently did an update to Macrium, I noticed that a boot option was available. I did this and now when I boot, there is an option to open Macrium Reflect or windows log on.

    system restore

    When I tied to run this with 1803 t said the probable cause was an a/v interfering. I only have MBAM so I disabled it by right clicking and selecting "quit". When I ran system restore again the same thing happened. Can Windows be working against itself so I should disable ransomware etc.? I...
