Thank God for my Macrium Reflex Boot Recovery . . . .

Naw, a new one is not needed; as each version's update roll-out occurs, a new one is nice. I make usb boot sticks because such can be updated while a DVD can't be updated, only replaced.

I usually make a new one with each update. Whether it is necessary, I can't say. It's just better to play it safe in my opinion.

If you use the Reflect recovery boot menu, you will need to remove then reinstall it to be sure of having the latest recovery files.

This is not true. No need to do this at all - it always uses latest version installed.

There may be issues if you have upgraded from Windows 8.1 - see post 7 at https://www.tenforums.com/software-ap...nu-option.html

Sure but definitely not needed for upgrading MR on same version of Windows 10. Even build upgrades do not affect it. Oddly enough, using the MR 'fix windows boot problems' deletes the MR boot entry so you have to redo it - LOL!

That's definitely NOT been my experience.

When I update the installed MR version, it does NOT update the WinPE boot files. I have confirmed this numerous times.

Instead, after I update the installed MR version, I then use the option to create recovery boot media, during which it DOES then update the WinPE boot files, and then I cancel out -- or rewrite the boot files on the USB stick, depending on what I want to do at the time.

However, there is no need to manually uninstall and reinstall the WinPE boot files.

I was not talking about the boot files - I was talking about having to change the boot entry which previous poster said you have to redo each time there is an upgrade.

Of course, you need to update the winpe boot files. I do that every time even though it may not be needed all the time just in case.

Lookingback, I'll +1 ya :) I was only talking about the existing backup images -- I have found that regardless of MR version, I can restore anytime.
