@Cache The Recovery partition may have just been created if you installed a feature release like Windows 11 24H2. It’s not technically necessary,...

Not sure you’re correct on the assertions in your first paragraph, but don’t have enough concrete information myself to debate you on it. But I...
Wow, reaching all the way back to 2017! Macrium Support posted at one point that the resolution options available in UEFI mode depend on the...
Wow… I don’t know how to account for this. That’s the first time I’ve seen the disk number sequence between Windows and Reflect not match up. I’m...

Great news! Please report back on any findings from Macrium :)

I don’t know whether any WinPE kernel supports Gen 2. But there’s now WinPE 11 available if you want to test that. But before doing that, please...
More specifically, it matters what version of Windows PE your Rescue Media is running — not what version of full Windows you’re running. Also a...
Starting with Windows 7, the automatic routine for SSDs is “optimization”, which as I understand it involves having the SSD perform a TRIM...
