RE: My lunch with Microsoft

[Harry Binswanger <hb@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

FWIW, EaseUS (free version) still has a very bad interface
and I consider the program unusable. I will look into Acronis.

For cloning, I formerly yanked
out the hard drive of my Lenovo and popped into a standalone
"toaster" duplicator. Result: a sector-by-sector, bootable,
clone of my current disk. But the SSD on my new Lenovo can't be easily
removed (old required removing one phillips screw). So I need to use
software while I'm re-booted into some OS set up for the purpose. Now my
question: where can I learn STEP-BY-STEP instructions for doing
this--i.e., making a bootable clone (with EaseUS or Acronis or
whatever)?

Thanks, very much.

Yes. I used Acronis at the
University for my whole IT department and dev. server; It was great for
quick backups and whole system images. However, it needs to put the data
somewhere; That’s what the NAS is for. But the NAS is capable of
much more than that. Think of it as a super-convenient in-house server
that needs no supervision and automatically snoozes when it’s not
needed. 

In the past, as consultant to a few small publishing companies, the NAS I
installed on their local networks was a godsend to their ability to work
together. 

As a (retired) consultant, this is something I can’t recommend enough.

Phil,

Actually something like 5 euros a piece if my recollection is correct.

In spite of this and in total contradistinction to MS license 
management, Acronis has a terrific system of keeping all licensing 
information online with downloads available and enabling the user to
transfer old licenses to new computers with ease.
