Two notes: it dumped some settings (such as the selected desktop theme) and did not clearly give me a place to name the backup file, but these are minor matters.

The image retained drivers I had updated, as it should, so my graphics and NIC were both restored to their as-of states from the image. That process took about 10-15 minutes, which is way faster than re-building the computer from scratch with a fresh Win 7 installation.
I rebooted with the CD I'd made and followed the simple steps to restore my machine from the image. System recovery would not work, system repair would not work. One of the 101 updates in the last batch did my computer wrong. Sure enough, one of those was the whammy. I then moved forward with some Windows updates that I think might be the cause of the repeated hard drive /boot failures.

I created a bootable recovery CD, as the manual advised, in case the machine became un-bootable. The backup image was created and then restored with no problem. The Win10 partition was shown as 1 drive letter later than where Win10 was originally installed. The software loaded and installed on the first attempt, and it allowed me to create a full backup of my machine including OS and files. Test was done to create and restore image by booting to the Acronis True Image WD Edition CD with the Western Digital My Book usb drive connected which is shown as drive E. It is clearly written and easily understood it breaks down the steps needed to create a full system backup so that the layperson can do so easily.

The user manual extracted as a PDF file, was easy to navigate, and explains exactly how to use the software. The ZIP for the Acronis WD software downloaded quickly and extracted cleanly. I purchased a 2TB WD external USB drive the other day and figured I'd give the Acronis WD Edition software a try since I had the machine stable for a while. I have an especially cranky Dell XPS15 running Windows 7 Pro - I've had to re-image the drive several times, and I've grown tired of the lengthy process needed to do so using the 5 or so DVDs that I burned using the W7 Backup & Restore > System Image wizard. This thing's getting a one-way trip to the recycle bin once I hit submit on this review. Only for it to say the uninstall failed because "the subkey cannot be found". By the time I was waiting OVER an hour for it to move on from File Exclusions, I just gave up on it and decided to try EaseUS instead.Īnd the cherry on top: TWICE now when trying to uninstall this garbage, it has managed to CRASH MY F***ING FILE EXPLORER. So I get up the next day and have to wait a similar close-to-an-hour's worth of time to advance to each following step. I had to go to sleep because it was verging on 3 in the morning, and I was waiting forever for the program just to advance to the next menu option after analyzing the source disk. THAT'S RIGHT! I NEVER EVEN GOT TO THE ACTUAL DISK-CLONING PROCESS! The disk-cloning tool is unimaginably slow. Installs a shit-ton of bloatware onto my system that runs like a dozen processes in the background. Idk how the other tools in the suite work, so I can only speak to my own experience with the disk-cloning feature, but I felt like I was in the twilight zone. I made an account on this website JUST so I could talk about how garbage this program is for disk-cloning.
