After backing up the Lenovo drivers located in a separate partition, I took the plunge and deleted all the Lenovo partitions and did a fresh install.

In order to do a thorough test, I did not go through a recovery and instead proceeded to install Windows 10 Enterprise on the laptop. Using the quick and easy interface, I was able to load my backup and choose which partitions will be copied. Once booted, the rescue media recovery program is stored in memory so you can unplug the USB flash drive and plug in the external HDD which has the backup file. I eventually settled for using Windows 10 Settings (Recovery->Reboot Now->Advanced->Change UEFI Settings) and successfully made the laptop boot to the USB. It took me several tries to finally be able to boot to the Rescue Media as these UEFI systems require new techniques to access their BIOS.

Now if everything works out, IвЂ™ll be able to store the backup file, the rescue media ISO, and the portable Rufus Boot USB creator in a backup disk. I created this file and used Rufus to make a bootable USB rescue disk.

Macrium Reflect also enables you to create the rescue media as an ISO file, presumably to be burned into a CD/DVD. Next step was to create the bootable USB, as well as create a Windows 10 Enterprise installer on a USB. All told it took around 10 minutes and consumed only 14GB. Once downloaded, I quickly created an image of the laptopвЂ™s 256GB disk and saved it on an external HDD.

I opted for the full install package (800MB+) as IвЂ™d like to create a bootable USB and try and do a full image recovery afterward to ensure that my backup will work. To start it off, I downloaded Macrium Reflect Free Edition in order to create a backup image. Reflect 7.2 on the other hand will warn you by default if it sees an incomplete set.While Windows 10 Home is bundled with the laptop, I need to install Windows 10 Enterprise in order to make full use of the features of the OS such as joining our domain, using bitlocker drive encryption, and remote desktop. Speaking of that latter risk, Reflect 7.1 will happily keep adding Incrementals to an incomplete set (unless you have Delta Incremental Indexes enabled) without warning you that your set is broken, because there are actually some backup archiving strategies where incomplete sets at the immediate destination would be normal. For example, if you just used Windows Explorer to delete Incremental #5 in your set, then Windows would happily leave Incremental #6 on your disk, even though that backup would be unusable at that point - as would any future backups you might end up unintentionally continuing to create on that set. The benefits to using this interface for deleting backups are that a) it shows you the impact of deleting your selected backup that you might not have realized, and b) it prevents you from ending up with 'orphaned' backups uselessly taking up space on your disk. Any child backups that would be rendered useless by deleting backups you select here (including the one you originally selected) will also be selected for deletion automatically. That will bring up an interface allowing you to optionally delete other backups in the same set. Then to delete backups, select one that you want delete and click Other Actions > Delete backup.

If they're not there, click 'Folders to search' and add the path containing your backups. The proper (and safe) way to delete backups without having to disable Image Guardian is to use the Restore tab and look at your backups listed directly in that area of the application. So backups ended up in limbo until Image Guardian was temporarily disabled. Because it was done within Reflect, Image Guardian allowed the files to be moved to the Recycle Bin, but it did NOT subsequently allow the Empty Recycle Bin operation to occur from outside of Reflect. It turned out that they were all using a fairly bizarre way to delete their backups, namely opening Reflect, clicking 'Browse for an image to restore', and then performing the deletion within that file selection window. Reflect 7.2 will work all the way back to Windows XP (though the optional components all require newer versions), and Reflect 7.2 has some new features described here that you might want.ДЄs for the backup drive, is it possible the backups are sitting in the drive's Recycle Bin? If that's not it, how exactly did you delete the backups? Even 7.1 has Macrium Image Guardian, and I remember people noticing behavior like this.
