I know it's about time. I'm not planning on a clean install as I would like to make this as effortless as possible. To that end, I'm using Macrium for the first time, before I upgrade it to windows 10. Before I do everything I wanted to make sure that I'm not missing anything, and make sure I understand what I'm doing.
I have:
- Created a windows install thumb drive
- Installed Macrium
- Created a Rescue Media for Macrium on a thumb drive
- A hard drive to store the images (I do have other files on the hard drive, will that be an issue?)
My understanding of the process is to launch Macrium and click on the "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore windows"
Select the Destination Folder and let it run
Or can I just select "Image selected disks on this computer" and get the same results, but with both hard drives being imaged (C for programs F for all other files)?
Then once I've done the Windows upgrade, if things have gone sideways and I need to revert back, plug in the rescue media and pull up the saved images to revert to the previous images of the hard drive
