Is Macrium Reflect FREE Edition save to download here https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/macrium_reflect_free_edition.html

I’m looking for free cloning software and software that is user friendly.

It also saying here https://www.intowindows.com/how-to-create-macrium-reflect-bootable-rescue-cdusb/

That I should make a Bootable Rescue CD/USB. I’m little lost here is this in event that windows get corrupted and I cannot boot into windows?



To use some thing like Macrium Reflect Free Edition do you have to boot to it? You suppose to make bootble USB stick with Macrium Reflect Free Edition?

If you're talking about backing up a Boot Camp partition, while yes - Reflect (Acronis, etc) will take a backup of your partition, it's not necessarily going to be usable immediately if you happen to lose your BC partition - especially if you're asking really basic questions like the above.

Pay for Winclone. It'll save you a lot of headaches if you actually have to restore a trashed Windows BC partition.
