WBM is now a text version instead of graphical, and cannot be set to auto-boot one Windows after a timeout, has to be manually picked every time. After the restore to new SSD, the BIOS can no longer see the SSD as a bootable drive, and only offers Windows Boot Manager. Formerly my BIOS was set to boot directly into Windows 7 from the SSD, with the option to pick Windows Boot Manager instead, and WBM (Win10 graphical version) could choose either Win7 or Win10 on a 2nd drive to boot. BUT, one problem: the Windows Boot Manager was screwed up. After restore, Windows booted up fine and all the apps were good. The backup was made of the whole drive, including the hidden system partitions. I recently had to restore backup of a failed system SSD to a new drive using Macrium Reflect.
Fortunately you can restore incremental backups from another system or a recovery drive if your licenced system has crashed, but if you want to move the paid software to another system, you have to contact Macrium and request a move. Note that the paid version is restricted to ONE SYSTEM ONLY. I have the paid "Home" version (formerly v7, now v8) which allows incremental backups and encryption. Macrium Reflect is definitely the most reliable of the half-dozen backup programs I have tried. I have a question, when i do hdd partition imaging should i select 'system drive' too, my primary drive is C and im trying to create an image of the main partition, there is system drive and im not sure why it exists (it might be existing since i used Macrium for the first time ,but im not sure), this is my parent's laptop and in case a problem happens with the system ,i would restore all the installed drivers and the apps to its normal functional state
