Strand alone BOOT computer image creator and restore

Thread needs solution

I've used TI for years. But I have always installed TI, Made the Recovery disc or USB stick thing or used some Add On system, like Mustang 2 and Yumi Multiboot, to Start, Boot, my system, Call up the TI recovery program and do or restore Drive images.

If I actually install TI on my system I only do it to make, Get, Whatever, systems, Files, I need to create a Boot recovery USB stick. Then I Uninstall TI from my system.
I do not want it running in the background or doing scheduled backups or anything.
I do all my backing up, Imaging, of my drives manually from one of the Boot USB sticks I create.
I am now running Windows 10 and am not sure what version of TI work properly with Win 10. I have TI from version 5 or 6 all the way up to 2014. I have USB boot sticks that has TI 2013 and down to TI 2011. But even though I own a copy of TI 2014 I had never installed it and used it to get/make a Boot recovery system from that version.

Which one will properly image a Win 10 system and most important Restore the image.
Thank you.

Edward, welcome to these public User Forums.

Acronis only support the use of ATI 2015 and later versions for use when installed on Windows 10 computers, but the boot media does know or really care about what OS may or may not be installed - it just needs to have the correct device driver support for the hardware that is encountered for that computer.

The older versions of ATI will not have support for devices found in newer computers such as NVMe M.2 type SSD drives, also the older rescue media uses a small Linux OS to boot from which again lacks this support, including having no support for RAID connected drives.

From ATI 2018 onwards, Acronis is moving away from using the older Linux media - this can still be created and / or downloaded as an ISO CD image from an Acronis account, but the default media is now based on Windows PE files taken from the Windows Recovery Environment, where it pulls in device support for the computer it is created on.
