Windows 10: Imaging programs

Now that Windows System Images are apparently no longer supported (deprecated) and the option may be removed from Windows 10, I am looking for a simple, user friendly way of making system images. I previously tried using Macrium reflect to clone a drive and had issues and found it complicated. So I tried EaseUS todo. Didnt get far with that as the install crashed with a runtime doll error. That didnt fill me with confidence so I have downloaded Macrium reflect free 7. It seems a bit simpler to do an image than cloning. First issue though is that the second window that opens with the backup criteria to select, doesnt actually fit on the screen! So next or any other selection is out of view. And cant seem to move the box upwards on the screen. With F11 full screen and the task bar dropped out of sight I can just access the essential buttons at the bottom of the window. But that hasnt filled me with confidence either. I now have an image being done and it says it will take 3 hours! (Drive contents are 500gb approx on a 1tb drive.). Is that normal? I know Macrium Reflect is very popular but I still dont understand half of the tick box selections and find it a bit complicated. I really miss Windows built in image maker - it was so simple! And it always worked for me. I realise third party image software will be slightly more complex as they offer a lot more than just system imaging. But can anyone reccommend something real simple and intuitive? It now says it will take 5 hours!

Why did the startup window get cleared?

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.
