WD Green - Windows 10 won't backup on external drives

[pearler47]

Previous windows backed up on external hard drives. I cannot get 10 to backup. Do I need software update? If not, what?

Found this on WindowsCentral.

Starting with Windows 10 version 1709, Microsoft is no longer maintaining the System Image Backup feature. You can still use the tool to create backups, but in the future, it may stop working. Also, as a deprecated feature, the company can decide to remove this tool in future releases completely.

Hello Mysterio,

sorry about the delay in replying.

I have managed a backup to external drives.

Don’t know why simple things have to be complicated.

Appreciate your reply.

You can use Macrium Reflect Free

I have bought a license after using it successfully for some months without any hiccups
try for yourself
