Macrium Reflect after crash
My Windows 10 Home version 22H2 Lenovo Ideapad crashed a month ago. In settings I chose "reset this PC" and "remove everything". Then I downloaded all my Documents and Desktop from Google Drive. Next I planned to download and install all my programs (if I can remember them all), and set all settings as they were.
Only now do I remember that I made a Macrium Reflect system image in 2019, and I still have the flash drive. I understand Macrium restores Documents, but they would be very old and I would replace them with fresh Documents downloaded from Google Drive anyway.
Macrium mentions "disk image" and "system image" and "partitions", which I don't understand. Before the crash I had lots of programs with lots of customized settings, like Winaero and X-Mouse Button Control. Would Macrium also restore these programs and their settings?
Please advise whether I should continue with my manual restore, or use Macrium. Maybe my Macrium system image is too old to be useful in any case. If I try Macrium system restore and don't like it, is it reversible so I could continue with my manual restore?
Thanks
