Do I need to upgrade TI2016 to TI2018?

Thread needs solution

Hi All,

 

I'm the proud owner of Acronis TI 2016 and it is working just fine.  Now I am receiving email offers to upgrade to TI 2018.  I guess my questions are, do I NEED to upgrade?  What is the advantage of Upgrading to TI 2018 from TI 2016 for me? I am using Windows 10 Home version 1709 OS build 16299.125.

 

Thanks for any direction!

Steve, if ATI 2016 is working and delivering everything that you want / expect from it, then there is no great reason to upgrade to ATI 2018.

If you want to take advantage of the current special offers on upgrading to 2018 and also want to have the additional protection provided by the new, integrated, anti-ransomware feature (Acronis Active Protection), plus the change in Rescue media defaulting to using WindowsPE (from your Windows 10 Recovery Environment) along with some of the other changes to the look & feel of the product in the GUI (Activity history display, breakdown of file types in the backup image etc), then perhaps give the 30-day Trial version of 2018 a run on your computer to see if you would want to use these features?

Note: if you do go the Trial version route, then make a full OS backup before doing so, then you can restore back to how you are if you don't like what you see.

From a personal perspective, I prefer ATI 2018 over the previous versions and have become used to using the new features such that I get a little lost when switching back to older versions I still have on other computers!
