Not so much a question but my experience with Macrium Reflect 7.2.4942
I have version - Windows x64 10 Home 22H2 19045.3930 Feature Experience Pack 1000.19053.1000.0 and,
I've been searching for a new version of Macrium Free b/c my v7.2.4942 was installed back in 2020 and I've been using that without problems since then.
Techspot has one but it's x86 only, Major Geeks has x64 but it's a trial version as is Techspot's, and with the new "no updates" rule at Macrium starting 1/1/2024 I hesitated to use them. I do have Karen's Replicator and I even d/l'ed AOMEI backerupper free but I couldn't leave Macrium alone and this is where the surprise came in.
I opened my copy of Macrium and tried to see if it would update thru the updates icon in the program and there was an update to my v7.2.4942 -7.3.6391, when the update finished, up popped that I was eligible to upgrade to v8.0.7783 so I continued on and I now have that version on my 10machine.
I believe it helped that I had licenses and codes thru the whole process from v7.2.4942 to v8.0.7783, and I'm glad that I didn't shy away from trying the updates/upgrade.
But my joy stopped when I tried to update my v8.0.7783 b/c This is what I saw, the dreaded 1/1/2024 rule:
If anyone else tries this all I can say is YMMV.
