  1. Solved Latest Macrium Reflect 8 updates

    I'm currently in the process of migrating to Hasleo Backup. I've already created a few backup tasks and so far everything looks good. I'll keep experimenting with Hasleo Backup and if I'm satisfied I'll buy a perpetual license to support the development. Macrium on the other hand can keep their...
  2. Solved VMware Workstation Updates.

    There is zero connection between VMWare Workstation's version 26H1 und Windows 11's version 25H2. Of course Workstation 26H1 can be used on Windows 11 25H2.
  3. Solved VMware Workstation Updates.

    The Broadcom website is indeed horrible. It almost seems as if they deliberately designed it so that it's almost impossible to find anything.
  4. Overwhelmed - Macrium Reflect

    As much as I'd like them to fix the image mounting issue my hopes are very low that they will actually do it. They will probably keep recommending upgrading to Reflect X.
  5. Solved How do they make money?

    By the way I have absolutely nothing against Hasleo. In fact I'm currently contemplating whether I should replace the aging Macrium Reflect 8 with Hasleo Backup. The reason for this is the fact that Macrium stopped offering perpetual licenses and only sell Macrium X as a subscription. I really...
  6. Solved How do they make money?

    Yes, whenever something is offered for free and especially if the free software comes from a company that operates for profit there is a real possibility they monetize their product by alternative means (e.g. by selling userdata). I don't need evidence to mention a mere possibility. Again I did...
  7. Solved How do they make money?

    @garioch7 I didn't say they are selling userdata, I said they could do that which is a possibility not a fact. And it has nothing to do with the fact that Hasleo is a Chinese company. The question how the developer of free software pays for his/ her expenses can or should be asked with any...
  8. Solved How do they make money?

    If you are talking about Hasleo in particluar they sell paid versions of their backup software. They offer the free version as an entry point for users and hope that people like the software and want to use the advanced features only the paid versions offer. And of course Hasleo could also...
  9. Solved Standard or Administrator Account @ Clean Install

    Are you sure the SSD is not in the list? You could disconnect/ remove all drives except the SSD onto which you want to install Windows. This way you avoid accidentally selecting the wrong drive. You could also provide a screenshot/ photo of the list of drives in the Windows installer, this way...
  10. Overwhelmed - Macrium Reflect

    I consider browsing backup images an essential feature. What if I only want to restore a certain file/ folder from a backup? There is no point in restoring the entire image only for a single file/ folder. Well let's wait whether or not Macrium fixes the driver issue. If they don't I'll look...
  11. Solved Standard or Administrator Account @ Clean Install

    You need to select the correct drive where you want to install Windows. It should be your SSD, not your USB drive. All the disks that are connected to your computer should be listed and you should be able to select the right one.
  12. What Games Are You Playing?

    I just finished Cyberpunkt 2077 for the second time (including Phantom Liberty) and I'm currently playing Indiana Jones And The Great Circle including the DLC. It's fun to solve puzzles and whack some Nazis :-)
  13. Which is your preferred password manager software? 2nd Edition. New and improved

    I use KeePass on my PC and KeePassDX on my Phone/ Tablet. I synchronize the database using my own Nextcloud server.
  14. Do I REALLY need all this Asus bloatware?

    In my opinion Armoury Crate is only necessary if you want to control RGB illumination through your motherbord. For everything else there exists better software.
  15. Any recommendations for a UK or Swiss-based cloud storage that is cheapish

    I'd take a look at pCloud's Valentine's special for their lifetime storage plans.
