Sorry wrong place but thank you.

I find the real-time protection worth the money for the paid version. I also run Norton with it they play well together both catch some things either one may catch something the other doesn't but I vote to buy it.

Good afternoon I am using Malwarebytes free but I see I can get better protection with the premium, would members advice be go premium ? thank you.

I would say yes. I'm using Eset Nod 32, but have used Malwarebytes.

Many here, myself included, use the Premium version along with ADWCleaner, Windows Defender and Firewall. So far that combination has served me well.

Confirmation that 7.2 will fix the longstanding issue where some pcs can only display in 640x480 mode when using winpe 10.

This was promised ages ago at the TF webinar with the Chairman of Paramount.

I believe it will also have wifi network support as well if TF session promises are kept.

Not sure why anybody would want to backup via wifi though - do people use wifi NAS devices?

_______________________________

Yes, v7.2 contains a workaround for early EFI BIOS implementations that are incompatible with Windows EFI Graphics Output Protocol (GOP).

Kind Regards

My NAS is wired, of course, that's where I store my Macrium images. One of my devices is a tablet which only has WLAN, no Ethernet, so yes, I will save its backups over wireless network.

Yeah of course, it is wireless to router - it does not need the NAS to be wireless.

I wonder if wifi is fast enough?

Hi there
Getting 112 MB/s file transfer speeds (not Mb/s !!) over wifi although this might be a Semi-cheat :

LAN from computers into a 5 port switch. Lan from Switch into Nighthawk wifi extender -- then wifi extender to router via wifi.

Passable for transfers of a few GB to NAS etc

The trick is I think to use the switch -- computers on straight wifi (i.e without the switch) much slower speeds

If you don't have lan on your laptop a USB -->Lan is good -- for laptops I have Anker 3 port USB3 connector with also a LAN adaptor built in so it serves a double purpose.

NAS boxes are wired of course though.

Cheers

It's fast enough for me.

Anyway, the problem has been that although I can save images to NAS, I cannot restore them to this tablet from NAS because Macrium PE does not find NAS. To restore, I need first copy the image from NAS to a micro SD card, attach that to tablet and then boot to Macrium PE.

@Kari

We used to call that sort of Networking "Footnet" i.e you physically took a piece of medium out of 1 machine and walked to the other machine and inserted into that one -- those were the days of "Big Blue" IBM mainframes with huge tape reels (still look great in sci-fi films etc) or removeable disc packs that looked like goldfish bowls.
