    I originally installed the free version on October 2, and because of the recent discount offer for this software, I bought the Home version. I just ran the installer again earlier today, and it has installed, and registered successfully. I got a prompt to create rescue media. However, I have gotten the following error message, for which I haven't found a way to fix the problem, i.e. nothing when searching with Google.

    Do you have something like Appguard running. If I am creating a PE and forget to turn off Appguard, I will see something similiar.

    I don't run Appguard...However, I did just pay for the Home License, but I see that it shows I am [still] running the Free Version. I entered my license key and it shows under > Help > about. Maybe, I don't understand how the licensing works for the 'Home License' version. Is there support for this version, i.e. e-mail support?

    To update my version, I did not see as you did where to put in the license key, so I simply reinstalled it and put in my license key there. Perhaps the way you did it also works, but I haven't tried it myself yet.

    EDIT:
    Absolutely do not have the option to put in a license on my former Free home version. I bet the Home Trial version does. Needed to just run the reflect downloader to upgrade.

    I have been in contact with support, and they advised me to uninstall. Following their instructions, I have been unsuccessful.

    It seems it that it is unavailable, according to Add/Remove programs. The installation is borked, it seems on my system. Anyhow, I am having Macrium support remote in later today, to try and find out what has gone wrong with the installation.

    Tarnak is it listed in the 'old' control panel under Programs and Features?

    Only asking as I've once or twice found that I was able to uninstall something from one area and not the other.

    Hi stapp,

    After the remote session, all is good. The support assistance worked their magic. :)

    I am transferring my Windows 10 boot image from HD to SSD.
    I took an image of the C Partition and at another site, I am going to restore that image to an SSD. It just occurred to me that I did not image the recovery partition. If I just restore the C partition without the recovery partition will it work?

    fouriron,

    Is it a UEFI or Legacy/MBR system?

    Len, would you mind posting a screenshot of Disk Management?

    What size is the SSD and the HD? Laptop or Desktop?

    Image.jpg Brian, The original HDD was 500G. It consisted of a 450MB recovery partition and the rest was the C Partition
    The C Partition only used 69G and my Image files is 55G. I imaged the C Partition and not the whole drive and I want to restore the image to the ssd.
    The target SSD is 160G

    Len, only restoring the C: drive partition should be fine.

    I'm not sure of the Macrium options. Set the restored partition active and restore the First Track or MBR.

    mantra,

    Those numbers are Mbits/sec. Not MBytes/sec.

    I have been using Reflect Paid for a while now. I was using free. I have 4 licenses and used 2. I just built a new system for my wife and added the 3rd license and all is OK.
    However, there is one option that I can't set on her new system. Same OS...64 bit Windows 10 Pro...
    When I use Reflect on my system, and choose "Image Selected Disks" it has my C: drive selected. My D drive is where the images go. However, when I do this on this new build, BOTH drives are check marked and I remove the check Mark from her D drive.
    Any ideas how I can make this full backup not default to both C and D?

    Reflect will remember what you just did when you deselected "D"... the next time you select "Image Selected Disks," it should only have "C" selected.

    MSPAN, just to clarify... it's not what you select after you hit "Image Selected Disks," its what disks are selected when Reflect opens... that's the configuration it remembers.

    At least that's what it does on my System :)

    UPDATE
    I fixed it by unchecking drive D when I first open Reflect...

    When I open Reflect and then select "Image Selected Disks" BOTH Drive C and Drive D are selected on my new system as Source drives.
    On my older system only Drive C is selected and every time I try my wife's new system I need to uncheck Drive D. This is simple of course, but I don't want to have my wife remembering this.

    > I ran Rescue Media Wizard after 6.3.1665 update.
    > my Rescue Media v6.3.1665 PE 10.0 release 1507 (WADK).
    Wizard Rebuild offers Optional: iSCSI & BitLocker.
    my system does not contain any partition encrypted using BitLocker XTS.
    what's iSCSI...do I need to Rebuild with Optional: iSCSI..?
    Release Notes do not mention If this issue affects you then please create fresh Windows PE rescue media after updating.

    So, am I okay with PE release 1507..?
