[DUPLICATE] Restoring back-ups

Thread needs solution

See this thread

 

I purchased ATI 2014 and 2015 for use with Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, but had to return both products for a full refund.  Neither one could restore the backups it had just created.  Every time I tried to restore a backup ATI would hang up with the following following message: Starting Acronis UEFI loader...."  But the loader never would start, and True Image could never restore any of my backups.

 

When I contacted ATI technical support, they told me that the only way to restore a backup was for me to go into the BIOS settings and disable the UEFI secure boot function.  Now Microsoft created the UEFI secure boot function (used in Win 8.1 and Win 10) for a reason - to prevent root-level hacking/virus attacks.  Why should I have to disable these settings and go back to the older, outdated, less secure legacy settings just to get Acronis True Image to work properly??

 

I am thinking about buying ATI 2016, but wonder if it is en worth trying, given my past experience with ATI 2014 and 2015?  Can anybody out there tell me if ATI 2016 will restore back-ups WITHOUT having to disable the UEFI secure boot function which comes with Win 8.0, 8.1, and 10.0??
