Hi all, just got myself a new SSD only to find (admittedly aged) copy of Acronis doesn't appear to work anymore. I'm too tight to spend dosh on something I just need to use once. Anyone got a license they don't mind lending me? Happy to uninstall/erase details afterward. A lot of SSD's come with an OEM license of some flavour of cloning software, so hopefully someone can help.
Ta ducks!

Macrium Reflect.
It's great, and free.

If it's Windows you're moving around, does it not still have a pretty friendly full on backup and recovery system?

That's perfect, thanks, it's doing its stuff as I speak. All I could find was BS freemium stuff that didn't do GPT disks or some such spurious rubbish, without paying. Looking forward to the ten-fold disk speed gain with the PCIe 4 NVMe. Just water cooling left to do. Oh, and a better PSU. Oh, and a new GPU, should they ever become available for mere mortals

2800MBps seq. write speed - adequate for notepad duties. Much snappier vs. a SATA SSD in an hour's general use.
Thanks again for rec.
