Still waiting for promised free version 7. It's past end of June.

I'm still good with 6
I never use any of the fancy-shmancy geeky stuff, and just do a plain system disk back up before I change or clean anything, and after if the system isn't buggy.

With my system specs, imaging and reimaging WITH verification is just a matter of minutes

Im amazed at how easy macrium is to use. I have just bought a new laptop, it came with Windows 10 home, installed on it. My old laptop has Windows 10 pro installed and it got digital entitlement by using the free upgrade, I wanted to swop these to licences/editions around so the new laptop had pro and the old laptop had home. In the process I managed to have 2 unactivated editions of windows 10. Thankfully I had made a image of each installation, which I easily restored on their original laptops and all was working as it was. Is it possible to transfer windows 10 licences between machine. I would really like windows pro on my new laptop and windows home on my old laptop. Remember I have pro activated on the old laptop with digital entitlement and I have windows home activated on the new laptop, I bought it like that?

Check first license on both laptops, if they are OEM or Retail: Determine if Windows License Type is OEM, Retail, or Volume Windows 10 Installation Upgrade Tutorials

Transferring Retail licenses should be OK, OEM license is not trasferable.

I dont have either laptop in front of me now, I suspect the home version (on the new laptop) is oem, I will check later when I have the laptops in front of me.

Does that take the place of my USB boot drive or supplement it? be on same USB?

It's in same drive as MR boot disk/USB. It's actual BOOT and OS on it, MR is just a program that runs in PE. .

It is on a separate USB flash drive the creation will wipe anything already on it.. You need to boot from this USB drive to restore your C: drive as you can't restore to a running Windows partition.
