Thought it might deserve notice through a new thread. Can always merge it later! I'd tried several tests with v2 that was carried over during the upgrade on this former x64 W7 SP1 PC but they were always a failure because AX couldn't access the source drive for some reason. I decided to uninstall it and reinstall as I had saved setups: 1.3.7, 1.1.41.48 and v2 but by mistake ran the v1 setup so I don't know if v2 will work or not after a reinstall but intend to remove v1 and try it later. It may be worth noting that I'd never had a hot restore failure with v1 or v2 on this PC (W7).
Very interesting. I might try a restore on a Win 10 system with ver2 to see what happens. At this point with Win 10 the one time I tried to use the boot option it didn't work. May reinstall AX64 to try that again as well.
