Hi
Currently use Marcium (registered/licensed) for backing up my OS install on Windows, never let me down.
I've bought a new laptop for the in laws and want to create a simple system restore from a USB stick (so probably 64GB to cover some other data).
I am looking for recommendations, particularly if any users have successfully done this, using a USB stick of this size.
1) Best suitable brand that enables bootable partition on the USB stick.
Reason why I ask I am aware that Sandisk USBs are not bootable and dont want to by another brand and discover the same issue.
2) Is it possible to have the USB stick to boot and hold the image to restore.
I am open to other suggestions as this needs to be relatively simple in process/fool proof. My inlaws live several hundred miles away and there could be language barrier issues
Also any tips when formatting the stick for use. I have always used Macrium Reflect and need to check their forums, so advice much appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
