Alan Tubbs Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I know how to back up my old win 7 machine which which is heading into retirement. the new machine is win 11. Do I need a program to make an back up installation or will windows 11 update with new programs natively? I don’t mind spending money on a third party software if needed, although I’ve done fine without them up til now. @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Stoner Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Use the free (and popular) Macrium Reflect to disc image (backup) the entire drive - all partitions, to a separate drive. I assume this is what you are referring to. You mean your new PC is Windows 11 "compatible"? Other than the Windows Insider beta releases, there are no other (official) Windows 11. The "final" version is slated for release later this year. If you bought a new PC with Windows 11 installed its a fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microsoft's published requirements (for Intel CPU) is 8th Gen and newer plus TPM 2.0. Not sure on an AMD CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
