With any computer, you need to test that the Acronis Rescue Media will boot correctly to allow you to see the disk drives installed / used. Personally, I would recommend using the Rescue Media over using ASRM anytime - if you get used to using F11 then lose the disk drive due to failure, it is lost and the only way back will be the rescue media, so make yourself familiar with the latter.
If you go for a dedicated Linux (single OS) computer, then you would definately need to boot from Acronis Rescue Media to perform any backup and/or recovery actions.į11 for the Acronis Startup Recovery Manager is a modification of the MBR of the computer, so anytime that you install a new OS or even do a major Windows Update, this can be walked over and lost. The one advantage of having both Windows and Linux on the same computer, is that you can do a backup of the Linux partition (or drive) using ATI running within Windows, and also restore it in the same way if needed. The Windows Boot Loader would switch over to the Grub2 loader when I selected to boot the Ubuntu partition. James, I have run a laptop with dual-boot for Windows 10 and Ubuntu for several years with no issues of any data corruption, plus because it was an older laptop using Legacy / MBR boot, I was able to add Ubuntu to the Windows Boot loader menu instead of needing to rely on using Grub2.
If down the line I am not happy with Linux, will I be able to restore Windows 10 via the image on my portable HDD using the Acronis Rescue Media? It is a thumb drive I have the Rescue Media on. I have a backup of the netbook on a portable HDD. I have a netbook which I am considering to single install Linux Mint Xfce edition. Is it possible to have the F11 option with Linux installed?
One of the things I noticed after installing dual boot on my backup PC is that when booting the F11 option has disappeared, which was removed I assume to Linux install. However, I have been reading that it is not recommended to use Linux in a dual boot mode as it could corrupt data in Windows 10, due to the fact that when booting up the GRUB bootloader is the one used. So I am pleased to see that I can continue to use, Acronis True Image 2019, abeit via the rescue media. Hi there: I am looking to switch to Linux and have installed Linux Mint Cinnamon v.19.2 on my backup PC in dual boot mode with Windows.
