Before buying Macrium Reflect I would like to know, how my license would survive a crash.
I am asking this as EaseUS ToDo backup Home, one of my current backup apps, did not work anymore after I...

I am sure that it will not. As far as I know this can only be done by using Hasleo WinToUSB. I did it several times and it always worked.
But here I want a simple 1:1 clone of my internal boot...

I have a lot of backups from differrent programs on different backup drives for my Windows 10 Pro 20H2 systems. But my favourite backup device are bootable external SSDs connected via USB. When my...

In the past, till W7, I used Acronis for years. But their license policy and slow bug handling drove me away. I now use the typical free programs: AOMEI the most with its clean interface, Macrium...

I live long enough in Berlin that I still can remember those years before the wall came down and the Reichstag once again became the Reichstag in real. Only a few meters away on the Eastberlin side...

It is a little bit of an overkill, as I now have external USB clone...

I have roughly two dozen Windows keys in an extra Excel file. One of them normally works. And if not, then the next "grey" keys are only an ebay click and a few bucks away.

Indeed: Both PCs are modern UEFI boot devices with GPT partition schemes.
Of course I started with restoring all partitions that Windows needs, this is the normal procedure with modern backup...

I want to migrate my Windows 1809 installation with all programs to a new PC. I tried it with backups of the old PC that I restored to the new one, but the new one could never boot it. I tried AOMEI...

Well, I will not try to revive my present faulty account but start anew (halfway) with a new user. As a backup I will save my old account in a virtual machine as I did when I changed from Windows 7...
