Reinstalling windows is a real pain. I do make regular backups with acronis 2010, I also have bought acronis 2018 but I hate the GUI, so usually if something goes wrong I just do a recovery with acronis 2010.

(Macrium Reflect free version is a fine program as well, might switch to it in near future)

That was until a few weeks ago, as I had windows 10 32 bit and stuff like Second Life was constantly crashing in busy sims, so decided to put on windows 10 64 bit, which solved the crashing problems.

But as John said a pain to put everything back on and aurhorize.

Probably talking about 40-50 hours in all. About 95gb and still counting as I add stuff.

Think I am almost there though.

I was just thinking though about activation. Wouldn't it be great if PG music gave all registered users, a backup offline activation file for the last years version that they bought, not current until they upgrade again for next year.

That way should anything happen (and I'm sure Pg music aren't going anywhere) the faithful followers of the program would be sucure in knowledge that the offline activation file would always activate biab.

Windows 10 (64bit) M-Audio Fast Track Pro, Band in a Box 2025, Cubase 14, Cakewalk and far too many VST plugins that I probably don't need or will ever use smile
