Amazing new feature in the latest w10 update:
Upon running disk cleanup, it'll give 3.99 TB more free space ...on my 500 GB disk :O)

Are you sure that is Windows 10 you are running? what version? , the disk cleanup on my Windows 10 looks nothing at all like that, yours looks like XP or Vista

Ah I see apologies you are doing a system file cleanup check

^ ^^ my test laptop with latest 10 + latest updates. Am regularly running 'clean up system files'.

Working on how to get control (make it my laptop, not it being a microsoft zombie).

Going well, have removed tons of useless crap and bloatware, stopped all the continuous data\spy\telemetry transfers to the dozens of MS owned servers, and everything needed still works, with things to be turned on temporarily upon request (f.ex. updating).

So when 8.1 'expires' (no more security updates) in 2023, looks like I could maybe tolerate w10 lol. But still hoping for Linux to evolve some more.
 
Any recommendations for disk imaging software?
I've just bought a brand new cheap laptop that came with windows 10 on a mechanical hard drive which i replaced with an ssd and put Linux mint on, but was looking for some disk imaging software just incase hell freezes over and I want to use windows 10 on this machine.
 
clonezilla - free, it's in the Mint repos too

Oops I forgot to mention as I don't have a Sata to USB adapter I will have to use my windows 7 desktop to read the windows 10 drive. Any windows based software? (after all that complaining)
 
I use Macrium Reflect.In windows 7
I think that i t will only reimage the original drive though. It works well though

I use the Ultimate Boot CD. There's a Linux distro included called 'Parted Magic'. It has plenty of tools including disk cloning software.
