Windows 10 and SSD

Thread needs solution

I've used ATI a long time, but never on Windows 10 and never on an SSD.  Anything I should be aware of WRT either in order to, please?

Incidentally, the newest version I own is ATI2020.  Some may recall that I last used ATI on an ancient dinosaur.  My new machine has plenty of resources.

Edit:  Now that I've booted into the ATI2020 boot media, I see that it sees the only physical drive connected (a single SSD) as two (!) disks, one with one partition and one with three.  Am I best advised to always backup all four partitions?

If you have a single hard disk in your PC and you are seeing two disk drives while using boot media, the one with a single partition has to be the boot media drive itself while the one with three partitions would be your Windows disk.  Yes, you should backup all three partitions on that disk to be certain your backup when restored would be bootable.

Thank you very much for both helpful answers, Enchantech!

I'm so happy that I can trust the boot media when it sees a disk.  The 'mystery disk' certainly shows as small enough (450MB) to be my (32GB capacity, no doubt formatted as 450MB) USB boot media (though much smaller than the 721MB .iso I downloaded to make it).
