Re: [OM] OT: Win10 - I Am Not Alone

[Chuck Norcutt]

Get the free edition of Macrium Reflect 
<http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx> and make an image or (as I do) 
make a clone. With a clone recovery is a simple drive swap.  I actually 
have 2 clones.  One is stored off-site in the event of fire.  Also 
stored off-site are copies of all my photos.  My son-in-law and I do 
backup drive exchanges whenever we visit.
