Hi, I just purchased Hard Disk Manager Pro 14 last week. How much is it going to cost me to upgrade to this new version? Thanks.
I've been using the free offering but it has no way to boot from USB or anything so unless you can boot into windows the image you make is useless. I think I'm going to upgrade today because v15 has bootable USB or DVD which is obviously needed. Due to the bug in a recent windows update I got stuck in a boot loop so I couldn't use my windows backup or the backup I uses with paragons free offering
