I'm planning to upgrade from Win 10 Pro to Win 11 Pro. Of course, I will image my entire C: drive first so I can go back if needed. I have the free Macrium Reflect Ver 7.3.6391 but there is an opportunity to upgrade to Ver 8.0.7783. I'm wondering if it's recommended to update to that version or if there is a reason to stay put or if it makes little difference. Advice is appreciated.

I would upgrade to v8 FREE if for no other reason than better hardware support and more up to date. After all, it's FREE and newer... there's really no advcantage to staying with v7 if using the FREE version.
