Only that I'd used Macrium and had never heard of Veeam until you list
it here. 

In fact, years ago, I found using Macrium confusing for quite some time,
and looked for something else this week.  I liked Minitools, the
partitiion manager that I'd used before, and dl'd and installed their
backup software, but it was confusing too.  Easeus recommended DiskCopy
and Todo, and only one was free and I couldn't tell from their blurb if
it would do what I wanted, as simple as that was. 

So back to Macrium.   Which I had to install on the new computer and as
I say in another thread insisted on registration and said it would send
me a link to a code, and the email came, with a link, but the link had
no code, only mention of Trial Version, good for a week or maybe 30 days
(with a monthly charge after that!!).  Others here say it doesn't insist
on registration, but I remember it doing so, a specific message which
only appeared after I clicked Next, that said roughly, Either register
or cancel.   But others here say no, so try it and let us know if you
could install it without giving a code (or an email address probably).
