    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'.

    I've now clean installed 25H2 and used Garlin's scripts to update Secure Boot to CA 2023 and revoke the PCA 2011 certificates. It's new role is to test secure boot issues.

Sort of....

You can wait and miss out one or more updates, the patch you will download will always contain all that's required to take you to the latest version. If you leave it long enough that will need to be the full installer for the latest version.

I never really saw the point in waiting - make an image backup before updating, making sure you have a boot drive of version before update, then update. If any issues, revert.

It is actually very rare a Reflect update actually affects the integrity of the backup or restore.

That's a pretty general, non--specific hurrah for a well-respected program, so if ya don't mind, how about telling us what struck you about the latest version? I mean, ten bangs worth: Wow! (One bang.)

The point in waiting several days before installing the update? Problem prevention with zero effort (y) Let others play the pioneer :eek1:

I don't bother updating my boot media anymore either, the effort of updating boot media so many, many times is more than a very rare re-install, I can't even recall the last time I did a re-install on my main machine.

So, yeah, I backup to secure my user data (I use MR File and Folder backup) not for the convenience of avoiding the very rare re-install.

YMMV :cool:

Edit: I also use RoboCopy that can't boot the machine either LOL but provides an additional means to secure user data (y)

It probably takes less active thinking time to update the boot menu than it took to make this post.
