    Macrium: Can I see the size of the image file before backup?


    Using Macrium, I get a backup all set to go but I don't see what the size of the image file will be.
    I can see the GB to be backed up, but that will be compressed to a smaller file size.
    I know about how much space I have on the storage device, and it would be good to know it the image file will fit Before starting the backup.

    Chances are its there and I just don't see it......

    :)

    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.

    Increase image file upload size cap

    that's a good idea
