Hey, so I purchased acronis true image home edition and have used it to create a backup of my boot drive. it's about 16gb and is located on the root of my storage drive.

Lets say windows stops working tomorrow and I can't even boot into it. what are the steps to get back to normal? I imagine I need to create a recovery disk? I am not sure where to do this on the software.

Open True Image/Tools and Utilities/Protection Tools then start the Startup Recovery Manager ... Once you have activated this option, you will then have the option to boot into the recovery module and recover your latest image ... works like a charm! ;)

I am aware of that but if windows isn't loading tomorrow, how do I open true image and tell it to run startup recovery manager.

Run the rescue disc creator from inside windows now. Then create either a bootable USB or CDROM with the Acronis rescue Software. Then if your windows takes a **** just put the USB or CDROM in and boot from it and recover the image.

Before windows boots you will get a screen prompt to "Press f11 to enter Acronis Recovery Manager". It will then load a linux module of Acronis and allow you to recover your Windows image ... Of course, you also have the option of creating a recover DVD if you wish..

also having the operating system on its own partition is much easier when you do need to reformat as well. and your backup size is much smaller and easier to manage.

also if you want to convert your acronis trueimage backup to a vmware virtual machine (so you can run it inside your operating system) you can check out this tool from vmware and it will do it for free.

      On xiaomi hyperos there's also an option to disable google assistant. I've got everything disabled. Only thing I do have installed is a web wrapped for duck.ai which claims to let you use various AIs anonymously

      I need to understand the rationale of not shipping all of these K2 improvements in a single update/release. It's giving "we will fix Windows 11 but no commitments". It seems to me that they just announce these improvements just to appease the community.

      The term "RTM" is long gone starting with Windows 10. Every current release is a GA build. This is the result of MS making Windows as a Service (WaaS).

      Looks like no official TBW rating, which should be a required listing in my opinion for sites like Amazon (hell, put it on the box too.)
