    I am not really sure what you meant by that. I think you might of meant from Microsoft Windows 10 boot menu. I have restored from backup using a usb flash drive boot disk created by Macrium and my images is saved to a usb hard drive. I have restored several times without any issues. This is the free version.

    @f14tomcat , Nope. You need to create a bootable USB with the FREE Macrium Edition. You can re-image your PC outside the Windows environment. But of course only images created with Macrium will work.
    I created an ISO for it if you are interested. You can get it from my NAS here : http://.no-ip.org:8084/share.cgi?ssid=0B2uBgy
    Just use Rufus to create a bootable USB. My link will expire in 4 days. *Smile
    @Caleb , don't rely too much on commercial cloud storage. Invest on at least 1TB USB external hard drive.
    As for your Win 10 upgrade, as long as you don't do any hardware upgrade or changes, you should be good. Just keep everything simple for now.

    The paid version of Macrium Reflect gives you the option to recovery from the Windows boot menu without using a bootable USB.

    I see. But what if Windows won't boot up at all? Also good to have the ability to recover images outside of Windows.
    Thanks for clarification.

    Thanks for clarification. I'm ready with both options. If I can't get to the Windows start menu I'll grab my USB boot drive. Actually I have 2 bootable flash drives just in case.
