![]() ![]() While it may be relatively newer than brands we've been seeing since Windows XP, QILING Disk Master Pro has been around for a few years now, so I wouldn't be afraid to check it out, to see if you like the scheduling features for example better than alternatives or whatever software you're using now. ![]() Macrium Reflect Free has the best USB sticks - they'll work with just about everything - but you'd be losing a Lot of features compared to today's GOTD, *IF* those features matter to you. Microsoft recommends using the Windows 10 ADK, which is the default, so *hopefully* you'll be all right, but Do Test any bootable USB stick to make sure it'll work if you need it.
