In comparison my brother had a class where the teacher was discussing the impact of the Nazis. During a unit that was specifically about World War One (yes One, not Two.)
Fortunately my brother was a military buff at that time so he knew what nonsense was being spewed.

I'm interested in your comment about teaching critical thinking in some Western countries. I'd like to know more, do you have any references?

I'd have to google. It's just something I remember reading about ... Norway I think?

So, I have two NVMe SSDs in my machine: One for the system and applications (C:\), and one that holds only data (D:\). Both were 1 TB drives, but the D:\ drive was rapidly running out of capacity. So I bought a 2 TB Samsung to replace the D:\ drive.
This left me with a spare 1 TB Samsung 850 PRO drive with an integral heatsink - A very good drive. I decided to move the contents of the system drive to the spare 850 with a view to replace the existing C: drive. Now, I suppose the usual approach would be to clone the system to the replacement SSD, but I tried a different approach:
Using Powershell / Diskpart I ran the "Clean" command on the 850. Then I used Diskpart to convert the drive to gpt. That was all the preparation I did. I did not create any partitions on the drive. It was totally bare bones. Then I took the last Macrium Reflect image of the old C:\ drive and restored it to the blank 850. Macrium created and formatted all necessary partitions. I was up and running with the 850 as the new C:\ drive in a manner of 5 or 6 minutes. Nice!
One word of caution: Don't mess with Diskpart unless you know what you are doing. It is very potent. It can wipe the entire content of a disk in a flash with a single command: All data and even all partitions!
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

I downloaded the Trial version of Macrium today.
Tried 2 backups to external drive and both failed and when they failed it messed my system up so bad I had to reboot.
To uninstall took 3 tries with a boot in between.
It took downloading Unlocker to unlock the files it had created before I could delete them.
I've been looking to replace Acronis since they went to subscription and Macrium was at the top of the list...not any more.

Strange! I have used Macrium hundreds of times on several machines over many years. I never had a single issue with it. I will never switch to anything else!

Yeah I thought it strange too. I've looked at buying it for a long time but help off until Acronis just got so screwed up I couldn't use it. The reviews have always been positive and I thought it would be a done deal.
Being it's a trial version there's no support so all I can do is hold out a little long with Acronis. I have an older version that has worked for a long time.

Or you can try AOMEI as OG is very happy with it too

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

If it gets to 13:00 and he hasn't posted, we'll send him hate mail and roll back to the previous setter - which was you, I think!

No - I thought we would have heard from Kornfeld by now ( things are getting a bit lively where he lives )
