uninstalling acronis 2017 windows 10

Thread needs solution

so i plan to use revo uninstaller. 

1. do i need to shut down all the running processes manually first? 

2. will i still be able to use my recovery media to restore those backups that i suppose will remain on my destination drive?

 

thank you

feivel, please see topic: [How to] uninstall a previous installation for the recommended steps for installing ATIH 2017 (even though it says about doing this for a previous version - the steps are the same).

that's quite some process for an average person to follow. i think ill use revo. thank you 

well i decided best to install as you suggested.  went smoothly.

one unexpected bump.  it asked at one time if i wanted to "delete extended capacity disks".  that wasnt covered in the tutorial.  sounded pretty scary so i clicked no.

was that correct?

should i now somehow delete them now?

leave things as is?

thanks

Extended capacity disks are a throw-back to an earlier time when Windows didn't have support for larger disk drives (over 3TB) and there was a need to provide additional utilities to allow the use of the same. This support was dropped from Acronis True Image 2015 and later as described in KB 48596: Acronis True Image 2015: Extended Capacity Is Not Supported
