Windows 10: create macrium rescue media for win 7 32 bit from win 10 64 bit pc

I have Win 10 PC 64 bit having Macrium installed. I want to create a macrium rescue media which could work on my friends Win 7 32 bit PC. Pl advise.

:)

 

Windows 10 64 bit

I had win 7 32 bit and have been upgraded to win 10 32 bit, to get win 10 64 bit do I need to downgrade to my original win 7 32 bit and then use the win10 64 bit tool to create an install disk or is there an easier way? Is it best to reformat and clean
install seven?

 

Upgraded from Win 7 64 bit to Win 10 - was Win 10 64 bit automatic?

Please somebody help me out. I had Win 64 bit on my PC. It worked much smoother and faster than Win 7 32 bit. I later upgraded to Win 10; however, I was not given an option of 32 or 64 bit. Was it automatic? I think my sys is 32 bit. I also deleted
files enabling me to revert to Win 7 64 easily. If I have Win 10 32 bit, can I convert or upgrade to 64 bit? If so, do I need to revert back to 7 64 bit first or reinstall 7 64 back to get extra files I deleted first? Please inform.

Thanx, Miguel

 

See Macrium's help page, apparently you can create any type of media you want.

Thanks. I created the rescue media from my already installed macrium but where did the PE version got downloaded on my PC. I could not locate it for future use.

 

I don't have Macrium, so cannot say for certain. Perhaps an experienced Macrium user could enlighten us.

I'd guess it's somewhere under C:\Program Data\Macrium\Reflect\Windows Kits\....

But you probably don't need to know - Macrium should already know where it kept it, should you need it again.

 

Should be on your C-Drive in your BOOT Folder. Also the PE version you made will only work on your friends computer if his drivers are the same as yours....read below.....

If the hardware for all your computers is supported by the default Windows PE driver set, then the answer is a simple yes. You can confirm this on the Rescue Media Wizard drivers page. If all the drivers listed have the status Device support in WinPE or Compatible device support in WinPE for each of your machines then you only need one rescue media.
If any of your machines require extra drivers, then you have three options:

• Create one piece of rescue media for each machine.
• Invoke the Create Rescue Media Wizard on each of your machines.
  • Locate all the necessary drivers and progress to the Rescue Media Burnpage before canceling.
  • Copy the contents of folder 'C:\boot\macrium\drivers' from each machine to one machine.
  • Burn a Rescue CD on that machine.
• Using the Rescue media wizard, create a bootable USB stick, inserting the same device on each machine in turn.

Note: Options 2 and 3 only work if all your machines are configured to use the same version of PE with the same architecture (i.e. they are all 32-bit or all 64-bit).

 

Best idea for you in to install Macrium Reflect on HIS computer, and make the rescue media from same computer.
Your is 64bit and his is 32 bit ....they are NOT the same. Yours will not work on his machine.

 

Another option (a way I used to create a 32 bit version for my 32bit tablet) is to install 32bit Windows 10 in a virtual machine on OPs 64bit PC, install Macrium Reflect in vm and create rescue iso in vm.

 

Sure if the OP knows how...
Best way I believe is to install MR on his friends computer, show him/her how to use it...Done. *Smile

 

Sure but may not be the most convenient way which is why I offered an alternative method.

 

Most convenient way is to tech the friend how to maintain their own computer.

 

*Ditto Teach them to be independent. It's the old story of "Give them a fish, or teach them how to fish". The OP may not be around or available next time.

 

I totally agree BUT we all know somebody who clicks any link, installs programs without thinking. Sometimes you can lead a horse to water....

Even my partner would never use it in a million years even if I taught her. I just do it for her using Teamviewer as it is less hassle than sorting issues out. Hell she would be a prime candidate for Win 10 S.

Now there is an interesting thought - UWP versions of Macrium Reflect Free and Teamviewer?

I assume you would be able to boot from an external usb drive on a Win 10 S pc if it can be upgraded to Pro?

 

I agree with your agree! *chuckle Totally off topic.....did you forget to change the time zone here in your profile? *Confused
