    Current Reflect Home Free or $?


    I've been using the free version for a couple of years now. Have any of the version 7 paid features incentivized folks to move from free to paid home?

    Even though my computers have and use the pay-for MR7, I think most users will be just fine with the free version.

    Two things--

    I found this feature interesting: 'Create a running VM of a Macrium Reflect image in seconds'. Does this mean that Reflect includes VM software and that instead of just mounting explorer files of an image you could actually run the image 'next door' to your current OS as a virtual machine?

    When setting up "Add recovery boot menu options", the default option is No Menu. Although I've searched Macrium I cannot confirm that the last entry, the PE environment #10 is the correct choice for Windows 10?

    No, it does not not, but you can convert a Reflect image to a VM:

    If you have a 64-bit OS, yes, #10 is fine. The #s indicate the PE environment versions, #10=Windows 10, #5=Windows 8.x or 7, and so on...

    I have the licensed version of MR 7.1 for two reasons. One is the email notification for the backup success/failure and the other is password protecting the image backup files.

    But I agree with RolandJS, for most people the free version is is just fine...
