The company seeks to implant a copy of their software, and not the thing they stuffed for SEO purposes, so search engines would pick up the item. https://www.4ddig.net/hard-drive/macrium-reflect-download-bing.html A first-grade link, has the company domain in the path. Allan has given you an example of a quality first-grade link. https://www.majorgeeks.com/ is fairly good at offering downloads, and you use the Google box in the upper right of that screen to find things. You have to stay out of the "Sponsored" section at the top and a link right below that would be a reasonable choice. https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/macrium_reflect_free_edition.html That site, the advertising is still a mine field, and may require clicking the reload button. But after advancing to the next step, give it a few seconds to put up the download dialog on the screen. In this particular case, the download is likely to be coming direct from macrium.com . While the majorgeeks person hosts a lot of archival copies on the site, for high volume items which are still available, the linkage actually uses the manufacturer site. ******* Regarding your new computer (24 AIO). It has one SODIMM slot and it comes with an 8GB SODIMM installed. The maximum memory is to buy a 16GB SODIMM, unplug the 8GB one and install the 16GB one. The processor cannot handle more than 16GB and it has only one memory channel. DDR4 SODIMM memory is the type. Since there is a possibility that manufacturing of DDR4 will stop at the end of this year, if you have any plans on upgrading the memory, the plan should be executed before the end of the year arrives. This utility allows you to review the memory details. Using the last tab over, you can save a copy of a text report, which is capable of giving even more info. https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html zip * english \___ portable version 32 or 64-bit version / Paul
