Hi

I just updated my windows 11 pro to Version 25H2 OS build 26200.7171 but now I tried to make a differential backup with Macrium Reflect but I get error

"at least one partition in the image to append to can not be found"

Is there a solution to this problem ? do I have to make a full backup ?

After you made the Full image, did you remove a partition or a disk that was included in that image? It seems to be complaining that it can't make a differential of one of the partitions in the original image because it can't find it on the PC any more.

    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to mechanical deterioration this PC has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

Nothing except updating to 25H2. No differential or incremental would work
