Create and restore a Windows system clone image, even without rescue media, with Macrium Reflect
I can’t recommend Macrium Reflect enough. Is a totally reliable and easy to use free tool that may save you from disasters, in case some mistakes lead to severe problems with your PC that you cannot solve.
Macrium Reflect will help you to clone your disk. If you think that you don’t need it, because Windows offers its own system image restore utility, you are wrong, trust me, and you don’t need to find out I’m true when it is too late, when you are unable to restore your image. You can have an image saved with Windows File Recovery, and another one with Macrium, but, if you are going to choose between the two, you have to choose Macrium and forget about Windows Recovery.
