Windows 10: Macrim Free Backup / Restore Stall

I have been trying to restore my first Windows 10 image.

For some reason I have not been able to get into the Macrium forum.

Maybe somebody has some thought to get me over a stuck place?

Here the path to my stall.

Hopefully it will make sense to those with experience?

-------
Windows Key
Macrium Reflect

Click on the Backup Disk pane.
Drive specs appear in the left pane,

Click "Restore" in the header,
Follow the drop down list.
Go to the Windows File Tree.
Select the Drive with the backup image.
Open,

In the Macrium Backup Drive pane, second from top on right, I press "Restore Image"

A new popup appears:
"Select a location to restore to

i select the same drive where the image is located.

Next,
Macrium presents "Restore Summary"
It includes details for the partitions fields, six as I am recalling right now.
Here there are no clickable fields.
And the "Next" button is dead to a click

Stuck here.
========
Is it stuck because the image contains the core Windows partitions?

I really only want the files. (The source computer died) but I could not sort out how to limit the restore to that partition.

Have I missed something or done something wrong?

BTW I did find the man page, but could not readily find an answer to the above. If someone could point to a solution in it that will help.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Free hard drive backup/restore program?

I am looking for a free (freeware) program that will back up and restore a hard drive. I'm looking to clone a few external hard drives. If the program will backup the used space instead of the whole drive this will be awesome! Thanks for any suggestions.

 

Testing Macrim Reflect

I'm an IT developer and not a systems guy, but I think I
can work with this.

I'm going to work through installing the VirtualBox from Oracle.
I found a descent install video from here. This guy basically
goes into great detail and it looks good even though hes using
windows 7.



Now my only question so far is, in the video it prompts to install an operating system
on one step.

If I'm only using this as backup, to test my Macrim Image what do I do on this step?

 

Free hard drive backup/restore program?

Obviously you're looking for something besides your Xp Pro utility that does this?
