![]() WBM is now a text version instead of graphical, and cannot be set to auto-boot one Windows after a timeout, has to be manually picked every time. After the restore to new SSD, the BIOS can no longer see the SSD as a bootable drive, and only offers Windows Boot Manager. Formerly my BIOS was set to boot directly into Windows 7 from the SSD, with the option to pick Windows Boot Manager instead, and WBM (Win10 graphical version) could choose either Win7 or Win10 on a 2nd drive to boot. BUT, one problem: the Windows Boot Manager was screwed up. ![]() ![]() After restore, Windows booted up fine and all the apps were good. The backup was made of the whole drive, including the hidden system partitions. ![]() I recently had to restore backup of a failed system SSD to a new drive using Macrium Reflect. Fortunately you can restore incremental backups from another system or a recovery drive if your licenced system has crashed, but if you want to move the paid software to another system, you have to contact Macrium and request a move. Note that the paid version is restricted to ONE SYSTEM ONLY. I have the paid "Home" version (formerly v7, now v8) which allows incremental backups and encryption. Macrium Reflect is definitely the most reliable of the half-dozen backup programs I have tried. I have a question, when i do hdd partition imaging should i select 'system drive' too, my primary drive is C and im trying to create an image of the main partition, there is system drive and im not sure why it exists (it might be existing since i used Macrium for the first time ,but im not sure), this is my parent's laptop and in case a problem happens with the system ,i would restore all the installed drivers and the apps to its normal functional state
