Thank you. Sent them my guilty plea to being a digital dinosaur; awaiting feedback. Was that link available on their website or whatever it was when I logged on? Finally eyestrained out from all their other-product pitches and no apparent links or Search box.
***** READ THIS BEFORE BACKING UP***** If you read the comments , and I had the same situation, the back up did not work!! Well it did and it didnt. Most newer computers have the uefi system. When installing windows, windows creates these other small partitions and one of these is the efi boot loader. I had done multiple backups and for some reason when i checked off the box for the entire drive, the todo system did not see or for some reason did not back up the efi boot loader files. The end result is that when you restore, it wipes everything off and restores what it backed up. In my case, since the boot loader partition was gone, my bios would not even give me the option for the hard drive any longer, it just wasnt therre to boot to. If you are backing up the files, make sure that one of the hard drive partitions on that particular drive is around 100mb. This is likely the uefi boot loader partition. There may also be a 16 mb partition, but to be honest , I dont know what is in those folders. If you so the boot loader partition or one that is around 100mb, then you are golden. If you dont see it, wait for it to pop up, refresh, close program, etc, whatever you need to do, but dont perform the backup without also backing up the boot loader. IF YOU BACKED UP AND DID NOT HAVE THE PARTITION, YOU ARE PROBABLY WONDERING WHY YOUR HARD DRIVE IS MISSING FROM THE BIOS BOOT MENU. In my case, i fixed it. First, i loaded a copy of windows onto another drive just to get the computer up. then i loaded up disk management (or search for "create and format partitions). Using this program i did a shrink volume and made a seperate 100 mb partition on this drive. Then i followed the instructions on either of these 2 videos (which was a little intimidiating so i watched several times) and the problem was fixed. Actually the first time i just let everytign restart adn it still didnt start but as it turns out , after perfoming these few steps to remake the uefi boot loader files, you have to shut down the computer. then upon restarting , everyhting should be fine.

Hi Leo, a quick question about easUS. Macrium allows, I think?, to make images that can be used to boot up a virtual machine, but does easUS also have such a feature? Thanks for all the great content really well explained for all of us non computer experts out there!
Maybe I'm operating with the same Selective (Bachelor) Blindness I use when grocery shopping but I've been all over the EaseUS page and can't find any way to contact or chat with them. Anyone point a digital doofus toward getting much needed answer if I'm to keep using this seemingly otherwise valuable tool? Thanks, I hope.
A free tool that’s easy to use.

I'm not aware of such a feature in Todo.
Good clear to understand video.
Thanks for sharing , any idea of how to make fonts larger in this software ? its hard to read . Keep up the good work .
Only by changing the display scale for all of Windows. Don't know of a way to control the app specifically.
You are right . I change resolution to 800X600 and the fonts are large and readable . Thanks @@askleonotenboom

I think I just watched a video on how to find, download and install a piece of adware on Windows. Is that an accurate assessment?
