NG15 Symantec System Recovery vs Windows 10. You can forget all about Ghost, the way forward is with SSR 2013 R2 and I am confident that they (Symantec) will come up with the goods when Windows 10 is released. I take your point though when you refer to customer support and the home PC user they (Symantec) need to realise that millions of Ghost users have been loyal to the company and if they don't sort themselves out I am sure they will loose a lot of custom. They have even unceremoniously dropped a lot of their testers and that stinks. PS I do like your choice of words. You can forget all about Ghost, the way forward is with SSR 2013 R2 and I am confident that they (Symantec) will come up with the goods when Windows 10 is released. Got a question needing your expert opinion ;-). I'm using SSR 2013 (NFR) with Win 7 Enterprise on my working systems (it's been performing like a champion), and I'm planning this round to upgrade to Win10 (this time I think they got it more or less right). Would it be advisable to pick up SSR 2013 R2. PS - And how are things holding up with you and yours in the Midlands. nice to hear from you, we are both doing ok thanks,the number 10 is still running. I hope you are all doing ok. There should be a patch available to up grade you to R2, but at the moment Symantec haven't as far as I know supported Win10. I am waiting for my Win 10 download and then I can try a backup with R2. It works well with Win8.1 and I haven't as yet had a failure except for "invalid" drives but there is a work around for that. I haven't been invited to test now for 18months so I think they have ditched the old lad. I'm glad you both are on the plus side, but I'm sorry and quite surprised that you've been overlooked. It's my impression that, as in these forums, you more than pulled your weight. I hope the oversight will change. Have you heard when MS expects to release the English-English version of Win 10? As you probably know, they released the American-English version yesterday for all flavors but Enterprise, and that should be posted on the MS volume licensing site on 1 August (I guess Sir Winston was correct in more ways than he knew. We are divided by a common language .). As for patching 2013 to R2, that probably won't be forthcoming (I've tried LiveUpdate to no avail) - I understand the NFRs are not upgradable. While you're waiting for your Win 10 download, I can take a quick look with the R2 trial version on my Win 10 10240 test system and post what happens. The release date for the UK was 29th but it could be a week or more before it is released to the UK, by all means give it a try, it may work ok, the platform I think is the same as Win8.1. I used to enjoy the testing and the banter we had, is Tony and Tim still running it. I have sent you a PM and an e-mail, if your e-mail address has changed please let me know via a PM. Look in the "Inbox" for the PM. I used to enjoy the testing and the banter we had, is Tony and Tim still running it. No. Gayathri Rajendiran has taken command of navigating the NS ship through the rocks and shoals of ET. I think Tony and Tim still are watching it from the background. The banter's still there, but the testing now is somewhat more dispersed, being shared between ET and the beta forum here. Still, we're doing our best to keep the sails filled. I just upgraded to Windows 10 yesterday and discovered that SSR R2 is not compatible with it. I don't know if or when this will be fixed. I'm reverting back to Windows 8.1 because I see nothing that great about Windows 10 and I need SSR. From the link above. NOTE: Licenses will not be accepted by SSR 2013 R2 on Windows 10.
