okay so looks like my link for the $80 lifetime license (I would hold out for a black friday sale and see if they go back to offering it at half price again) for macrium reflect isn't working but.. just do a google search for "macrium reflect home user lifetime license" and it should pop up

I really can't seem to shut up about this laptop can I? :) (the Acer Aspire E 15 E5-576-392H ) .. also upgraded the laptop to 16 GB of ram, two 8 GB sticks, using the "Crucial RAM 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz CL11 Laptop Memory Crucial RAM 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz CL11 Laptop MemoryCT102464BF160B" …. CT102464BF160B is the model number but…

I lied this really is the last comment :) I also have what some might call this laptop's "cousin" the older Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575G-57D4 … I think it just missed the cut off that would have let me install Win 11 on it :( (processor not powerful enough, motherboard not supported far as secure boot)… but it did take a…

and last comment I swear if you want to buy the lifetime license for $80 for home use

and here's where you can get the free version of macrium reflect 7 … back before they moved to a subscription model I would have grabbed it during their black friday sale price of $35 (normally $70) but haven't seen it drop to that price in the more recent black friday sales :( .. honestly the free version works fine for…

best guide ever I've seen for acer laptops using macrium reflect :) … I caution you to look for the macrium reflect 7 free version unless you don't mind the macrium reflect 8 version that's currently being offered only having a 30 day trial period/window before you have to pay a subscription fee to use it .. try the next…

this is a link to the specs for the adata drive

apologies for posting on a thread started in the year 2020 :) .. the thing is these threads show up in a google search for say someone looking for "m2 drive " for this particular laptop model, E5-576-392H , so I thought I'd post here in case it helps someone else who has this laptop.. I also have this exact laptop model.…

This is incredibly helpful information Puraw I would go so far as to call it invaluable information :) .. now I know what model numbers to look for , assuming I can still find them for sale brand new from a reputable seller somewhere (increasingly unlikely I know :P ) .. again thank you so very very much :)

Thank you Puraw :) .. I had a feeling there was no 2.5 ssd form factor slot and that the article was just linking to the wrong laptop but it's good to have someone confirm this :) Do you know if there are any Acer Aspire models from the Acer Aspire 5 A515-57G series that have the 2.5 form factor drive bay or as a general…

Well darn it .. guys no way to go back and edit my first post I guess it's been too long since I last posted it so I sure hope someone scrolls down and reads this too… I WAS WRONG ! Macrium Reflect as of January 2023 only gives you a 30 day trial period.. they'll extend it another 7 days but after that you can only restore…

hopefully I'm allowed to link this.. are you asking how to do it ? I found this video to be crazy helpful you can also do a search on youtube for “Cadillac Computer Center upgrade acer aspire a1055-45” .. the video above is for the A15-55 model but I found it to be very similar to the insides of my A15-45 laptop as far as…

thank you so much I can see from all your posts you are an expert so this reassurance is incredibly .. well, reassuring ( I know, a poet I am not :P ) .. thanks again :)

a bit more info.. the crucial system scanner says the removable 8 GB stick of ram in the laptop (8 GB of ram is also soldered in there seperately so that cannot be modified for 16 GB total as per the current configuration before potential upgrades) is an 8 GB stick of Hynix ram speed 3200 model number HMAA1GS6CJR6N-XN ..…

found the ram stick the crucial system scanner is suggesting.. more expensive and sadly sold by a 3rd party amazon seller, I much prefer sold and shipped by amazon due to their generous return policy

That is an excellent point and something I completely forgot about thank you for mentioning that! Me personally since I'm the paranoid sort I would want to do exactly what you described above as far as creating a system image using the tool built into Windows and also use say Macrium Reflect free to create an image, so if…

thank you StevenGen :) ... between your post and the one below that I cannot believe I forgot to include in my original post (read this over, aphanic gives a wonderful guide with pictures/screenshots walking you through exactly how to use macrium reflect free edition)…

I can't believe no one left a comment yet saying what a wonderful guide this is thank you so much for all your hard work :) ... by any chance have you tried this with a Windows 11 acer computer and if so did the free version of Macrium Reflect work out for you? I'm guessing you probably already know this but Microsoft will…
