    Is there a disc imagining program included in Win 10?


    I was talking to a tech friend about Macrium Reflect and he said that there is a disc imaging app. included with Windows 10. Is this true? (don't think so).

    Yes - it is in control panel and called, for some reason, "Backup and Restore (Windows 7)".

    Macrium is much faster though.

    Stupid name - it confuses people. It means "the crappy tool we had in Windows 7 but have never updated it since because we want you to use file hostory backup even though that is not a disk imaging package and we tried to kill it off in Windows 8 but users would not let us so we have given it an obscure name to comply but we still do not want you to use it".
