    Windows version compatibility with Macrium Reflect questions


    Hello, Windows Ten forum. I am a newly registered member (10 minutes ago). I have some questions about Macrium Reflect and Windows 7/10. I have been using Reflect V5.2 for some time now for image creation of my Windows 7 laptop. I am very happy with the program. I am now ready to image partitions on my Windows 10 laptop. My options are to continue using Reflect 5.2 (if it will work on Windows 10) or use Reflect V7. My question(s)...will Reflect V5.2 work for both OS's so I am using one program for both OS images, or will Reflect V7 be compatible with my Windows 7 images created using V5.2 or, am I going to have to use two versions of Reflect (V5.2 for Windows 7 and V7 for Windows 10)? I hope I haven't confused anyone with my wordy post. Thanks in advance for any help.

    :)

    Windows version compatibility with Macrium Reflect questions

    Just install v7.3
    Remake the bootable media
    Make a new full OS image backup

    You should "install" Macrium Reflect on Windows.
    For example, I use Macrium installed on Windows to make the backups, then I use the bootable media to restore if I need to.

    Hello, Windows Ten forum.

    I am a newly registered member (10 minutes ago).

    I have some questions about Macrium Reflect and Windows 7/10.

    I have been using Reflect V5.2 for some time now for image creation of my Windows 7 laptop. I am very happy with the program. I am now ready to image partitions on my Windows 10 laptop. My options are to continue using Reflect 5.2 (if it will work on Windows 10) or use Reflect V7.

    Windows version compatibility with Macrium Reflect questions

    Hello @slipstream55 , welcome to Ten Forums.


    This is straight from Macrium Reflect's "Knowledge Base"...

    Also, when you upgrade to v7 it will uninstall previous versions.
    I would probably remake the Macrium Reflect bootable media as well.


    Keep in mind that all the FULL backups made with v5.2 will have Macrium Reflect v5.2, installed.
    So, it would be a good idea to make a new full OS image backup, once you upgrade to v7.x
