  1. Solved thinking of getting macrium x, but need more info.

    I can give you my ballpark experience with it on an AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT system. Long story short, 10 was just a little faster than 8 and resulted in slightly smaller images. Windows 10 fresh install. ~15 GB used on a 512 GB 4xGen3 NVME SSD. Full images to/from an internal 1 TB SATA SSD. Making...
  2. Windows 11 REALLY sucks in performance compared with Window 10

    That's pretty much how I feel about Windows 10. I still hate it compared to Windows 7, but managed to get Windows 10 to be bearable. I hated Windows 7 compared to XP, hated XP vs 2000. 98 to 2000 was actually good! Vista didn't exist to me...similar to 11. Windows 11 crossed the line for me...
  3. Windows 11 REALLY sucks in performance compared with Window 10

    I tried Windows 11 twice ( Enterprise 22H2 and LTSC 24H2 I believe they were) with the intent of giving it a good chance to grow on me. Neither time could I stomach it more than 2 hours after install and configuration was complete. EVERYTHING about it is just terrible by comparison. I had the...
  4. Hasleo Backup Suite

    Keep an eye on their forum for "betas/hotfixes" where they post them directly. I don't know of a "beta" section on the main web site or anything though. Currently 5.2.2.0+(build 250327) "Hasleo_Backup_Suite_Free_250327.exe": from Bug/Error when restoring.
  5. Poll on Backup software

    Me too! I don't even own a laptop, though I can surely understand why a more 'mobile' person would want one. I like my big, clunky desktop/entertainment center/stereo/guitar amp/recording "studio"/gaming rig that I can build and repair and tweak all I like. Plus I can't stand using those tiny...
  6. Poll on Backup software

    Takes me ~50 seconds to make a backup and ~15 seconds to restore one for Windows. ~22 seconds/7 seconds for Linux. :cool:
  7. Solved Latest Macrium Reflect X updates

    Still no mention of fixes for MBR disks restore failure so yeah, no. Combined with the money-grubbing-rent-an-app subscription thing, I think it's time to abandon Macrium all together and just switch to Hasleo Free.
  8. Poll on Backup software

    Nothing wrong with suggesting the duplicator method...we are talking about backup stuff after all, and that very well might be a good way for someone who otherwise may not have even thought of it. Just not me! I like to tinker way too much, too frequently for that.
  9. Poll on Backup software

    Not a bad (hardware based) way to do it, if you have a hard drive dedicated to just sitting there with a backup/duplicate on it. The way I see it is imaging software does the same thing, only using your PC as the hardware with the advantage of being able to plop several images, of several OS...
  10. Poll on Backup software

    Hasleo, since Acronis went the 'all the bloat and kitchen sink' route, and then Macrium went the greedy 'money grubbing rent-an-app' route.
  11. Hasleo Backup Suite

    I cannot fathom why you would want to merge rather than just use the most recent. Seems like a good way to mess things right up!
  12. Hasleo Backup Suite

    Got it, made rescue disk, copied files from rescue.iso to a small partition on my storage drive (so I don't need to fool with a flash drive), booted from that partition, made backups of Windows and Linux drives. Tested to see if I could easily connect to a networked second PC containing "fresh...
  13. Solved Latest Macrium Reflect X updates

    Warning about Macrium Reflect X (v10.0.8406) and MBR partitions (not sure about GPT). TLDR: Reflect 10 + BIOS/MBR disks = NOPE! FAIL! Twice I have tested making a complete, full backup of my Windows 10 partition installed on BIOS style, MBR disks. Restoring to/over the existing partition...
  14. Hasleo Backup Suite

    -1 I am liking Hasleo so far.
  15. Registry Cleaner App?

    ...and a tip: Get the portable version from the builds page (that they try really hard to keep secret): https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/builds EDIT: Looks down...beat ya by 30 seconds! :LOL:
