Yeah, it's been a while. I still use Macrium Reflect Free. But AOMEI's products are really good. The company's sales tactics are scam-adjacent and feel a lot like the promotions scam companies like ...
Short of it is: Whenever there is a Reflect 9, it will have paid versions only. 8 Free will get patches until Jan 2024, but won't officially support any future versions or build upgrades of Windows.
