    Question about Macrium Reflect


    Better late than never, but I've finally started using backup/cloning software, namely Macrium Reflect considering all the praise it gets.

    But I need to ask, is downloading the PE files used for creating a restore USB necessary if I'm just going to be cloning my drive?

    From what I understand, the restore USB is for situations where the system cannot boot whatsoever, so the rescue USB is used to put me at a point where I can restore from an image. But the image can still be used to restore as long as I can boot my computer normally to the point that I can run the Macrium software. And a clone is simply a perfect clone on another drive.

    If whatever disaster occurs and I can't boot on my usual drive, I could just replace the problematic drive with the cloned drive and everything would be the exact same as when I created the clone, right?

    :)

    Restoring Windows 10 Image using Macrium Reflect


    In addition to the above. Here's my suggestion in step by step.
    I assume you have Macrium Installed in your current HD and already made a backup copy.
    1. Connect your new HD via USB port and boot up.
    2. Run Macrium, click on Restore tab then select the Backup Image that you made to restore
    3. click on "select a different target disk" then select your new HD as destination

    4. Proceed to restore then Shutdown and disconnect the old HD and replace with the new HD
    5. Boot up with your new HD.
