    Macrium Reflect Restore procedure


    Macrium Reflect Free Edition v7.3.5550

    I have recently changed my backup strategy from (a) creating only Full images to (b) creating one Full image followed by Differential images and retaining only one image of each.

    With method (a) it was easy to restore the Full image because there was only the one image to choose from.

    With method (b) there are two images to choose from and I have never had to use this method yet so what is the restore procedure please?

    I suspect that I select the Diff image for restoring, which (I hope) will automatically cause the Full image to restore first followed by the Diff image to bring the system up-to-date. Or should I select the Full image for restoring, which will automatically include the Diff image in the restore process? Or is it a two-stage manual process whereby I restore the Full image first and then restore again using the Diff image?

    Thanks for help in this

    :)

    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.

    Is my sequence correct for Booting from Macrium Reflect and Restoring

    I have a Macrium Reflect image of my current Win 10 machine on an external HDD. I have a new custom build. I just want to make sure I do things in the correct sequence.

    Use the USB flash drive I made to boot a new machine.
    Then navigate to the external HDD and open the Macrium Reflect image and click Restore.

    Am I missing a step or procedure?

    Also, I plan to give my current machine to my grandson, but I'm wondering about the license key for the Win 10, since I plan to load the same one I have now with the restoration process. Do I need to buy a new license for my old machine, or will the Win 10 still work?

    Thanks for the help,

    TRS
