Windows 10: using Macrium Reflect best practice

After a recent power problem on another computer I wanted to take the general advice here and use Macrium Reflect. (free - personal occasional use). I loaded MR onto my computer but don't know how to understand what it is telling me. I think I want a simple image.





1- I don't know what the red means.
2- Do I need another SSD of the same size or larger to make this image
3- Do I lock this new SSD away and not use for anything else? Keep attached via SATA and reimage when I add new programs? (I generally keep the OS and programs on C: and data files on E:

What is best practice? (home user - personal use)

Thanks,
Phil

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.
