[QUOTE="jetman, post: 892314, member: 63028"] Im afraid i cant answer many of your questions. My strong advice would be to take ocassional system images on a removable drive using Macrium free edition- i dont think that will preserve your rollback snapshots but it would enable you to restore the whole disk and its partitions back to the way you wanted them if Rollback caused problems. After the macrium restore you can reinstall rollback. In my experience of Rollback its a very, very good product but can ocassionally cause system crashes (this is rare- its usually after big Windows updates) so its worth having another way of backing out of errors. I THINK rollback would work fine in the way you have described above, but it does need quite a lot of space for snapshots and it can cause errors if disk space runs out. Id set it to automatically defragment on shutdown and adjust the settings so it deletes snapshots when disk space is running out- you need a bit of leeway so make sure Rollback is given the space it needs. Personally i would upgrade to win 10 if your system is capable of running it. By fiddling around with the settings and cleaning up the appearance it can be made to look much more like classic windows. Its risky to be using such a dated operating system if you are connected to the Internet. [/QUOTE]
