Not sure if I should post this here or make a new thread. I have Win 10 installed over the original Win 7 Pro.

Not had many problems and have used a Samsung external drive for backups. now being told that drive is full so tried to install a 1TB drive in place of the Samsung. I was able to manually do a full backup and system image to the new drive but am now getting messages that Windows can't find drive etc.

If I try to manually force a backup it will not do it and formatting and re using the Samsung drive is now doing the same.

Can anyone recommend backup software using an external hard drive that works better than the Windows 7/10 mash up?

Jim.
