Windows 10: Macrium speed pretty impressive these days

Hi there

I Have windows installed on a 230 GB SSD - windows size roughly 80 GB which images to 53 GB according to the Macrium screenshot.

Imaged to external USB 3 3TB (Toshiba passport self powered type of drive) from standard HP Envy laptop with i5 cpu.

11 Mins - so why people never backup is really beyond me -- the laptop I was backing up isn't by any means top of the range either and the i5 in the laptop is one of the earlier cpu's of that vintage too.





OK having system installed on an SSD helps (the price of 230 GB or so SSD's has dropped to almost nothing (or around 40 EUR) so it makes sense even on old computers to install an SSD for the OS -- in fact performance gain will be noticed much more on older hardware anyway.

If people can't spare around 15 mins to backup their systems regularly with decent FREE reliable software then can they really expect people to go over backwards to fix their machines !!!!!

Cheers

Here's a quick laundry list:

List of software to use for overclocking and testing
Examples:
Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

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.
