New Macrium Reflect Updates [2]

Macriun have previously said that they were aiming to release v8 Free about 90 days after the launch of v8. So if it doesn't slip that puts it around mid-August.

Yes, it should get updates. I have installed v8 Free* and it got all the updates.


* I installed the 30-day Trial, then changed the Licence key to the v8 Free key. I found the v8 Free key by removing the licence from my v8 Home which reverted it to v8 Free, took a note of the key, then restored its licence.

Nice one!

Don't you just love Macrium Support?

Support for Reflect on Windows 11

We will ensure that Reflect 8 continues to work on new Win 11 previews as they are made available. Given that Win 11 is slated for release in late 2021, on release, we will backport all required changes to Reflect 7 to ensure that it too is compatible — as part of our product support policy .

It's good to to have confirmation but I'm not surprised.

That's very good to hear, and like Keith I'm not surprised. I have 4 V8 licenses, but still have a number of V7's on VMs and test partitions that I would want supported.

If only Microsoft responded as fast as Macrium life would become a lot easier.

I just downloaded the Macrium 8 free edition from MajorGeeks, installed it and it is the free edition--no trial. So apparently they are now providing the free edition.

Tnx, good to know, I'll try that in my W11.

I don't think that's an official MR release. The official free edition won't be released until 90 days after the paid version.
