Like all modern backup software, Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office can create a restorable image of your system while you’re using it. It can also sync folders between computers or between your PC and the cloud. It saves backups to local or network directories or, if you’re willing to pay for it, Acronis’ proprietary cloud service. Formerly known as Acronis True Image, it can back up and restore your entire PC, or clone individual drives and partitions, or back up any set of files and folders. But in Win10 v1607, the size of MSR is 16MB.If you’re looking for online backup and security software, you’ll find a feast of features and options in Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office-probably more than you’ll need and some that you may choose not to use. Windows 10 v1507 creates 128 MB MSR if I remember correctly. I am sure if you clean your HDD/SSD first (but don't manually format it yet), then boot your Windows installer UFD, select the unformatted HDD/SSD as installation target drive let Windows installer automatically partition the disk the partition layout will be the same size and order as I show in post #51.īTW, the size of the Recovery, EFI and MSR partitions do vary depending on the version of Windows you install. This way, the Recovery, EFI and C: partitions could only be created after the existing MSR. I guess what happened was, you formatted your disk as data GPT disk first (Windows will create a 128MB MSR partition on data disk at the beginning of the disk upon formatting), then installed Windows on this formatted disk with existing partitions. That is, as long as you install Windows 10 v1607 on an empty disk (not formatted, so no existing partitions on it).Īlso note, that you have the 128MB MSR partition located up front before the Recovery partition, which is in different order from all my Windows installations. the sizes of the first 3 partitions (Recovery, EFI, MSR) are all the same. I installed 6 PCs, with very different hardware setups (CPU, RAM, size of hard disk from 120GB SSD, to 240GB SSD to 500GB HDD), including both desktop and laptop.
